1998 (Jerome S. Handler) “Problematical Glass Artifacts from Newton Plantation Slave Cemetery, Barbados.” African American Archaeology 20: 1, 5-6.
This paper discusses two virtually identical small translucent glass objects of apparent European manufacture that were found associated with two different burials in 1973. Similar objects have not been reported in African descendant sites in British America. This paper describes the physical properties of the objects, their burial contexts, and possible derivation from European buckles or finger rings.
