The Colonial Landscape of the British Caribbean cover

New research on the archaeology of the colonial landscapes of the Caribbean. This volume brings together new research on the archaeology of the colonial landscape of the Caribbean. It focusses on the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and on the British Caribbean: notably Bermuda, Jamaica, Florida, Barbados, Antigua, and especially St. Kitts and Nevis. Chapters cover a wide range of landscapes - domestic, military and industrial - and interests, including the archaeology and architecture of African-Caribbean slavery and emancipation, European settlements, sugar production, burial grounds, cartography, fortifications and trade.

An important and ambitious book...attractively-produced [and] generously illustrated. * TRANSACTIONS, BRISTOL & GLOUCESTERSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY *
The excellently illustrated The Colonial Landscape of the British Caribbean provides several useful studies and innovative arguments, as well as some excellent primary data that will be useful to other archaeologists, and it is a welcome addition to the historical archaeology of the Caribbean. -- John M. Chenoweth, University of Michigan-Dearborn * Journal of British Studies *
