Archaeology of the colonial era plays a crucial role in the documentation of the living conditions of slaves, their housing, burial practices, the state of health of the deceased, their age, their gender, etc.
It provides unique information from the unambiguous text archives of State authorities, slave traders and slave owners.
Confronting recent studies from the United States, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, the Caribbean, Latin America, Guyana, Africa, Reunion and Mauritius, this international symposium provides an update on recent advances in the study of trafficking, slavery and maroonage, and gives greater consideration to the archaeological heritage of the slavery system.
