1972 (Jerome S. Handler) “An Archaeological Investigation of the Domestic Life of Plantation Slaves in Barbados.” JBMHS 34: 64-72.
A modified version of a talk given at the University of the West Indies in Barbados in early 1972. Gives an overview of the domestic life of plantation slaves and raises issues it is hoped on-going archaeological research will address. This talk was given in the earliest phases of the archaeological research in Barbados which eventuated in the book, co-authored with Frederick W. Lange, Plantation Slavery in Barbados: An Archaeological and Historical Investigation (Harvard University Press, 1978).
