Since the second half of the twentieth century, archaeological studies of slave life in Virginia have proliferated, resulting in a new body of evidence to support historical interpretations at historic sites and museums. This presentation uses data from archaeological sites, mainly in Williamsburg, to discuss cultural practices relating to locally made items, imported goods, the landscape, and the use of animals for foods and medicines. Please join us with Dr. Ywone Edwards-Ingram, Asst. Professor of Archaeology at the Virginia Commonwealth University and past Staff Archaeologist and Coordinator of African-American Archaeology at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation HERE.
