Description
Offers case studies of colonoware in Indigenous, enslaved, and European contexts in the Southeast.
“Materializing Colonial Identities in Clay speaks to the diverse historical contexts and material forms of colonoware and highlights the ways in which colonoware was used by all peoples of the Southeast in ongoing cultural negotiations. The multisited approach taken by many authors is absolutely essential in moving forward our understanding of colonoware, colonialism, and its legacies.”—Barbara Heath, author of Hidden Lives: The Archaeology of Slave Life at Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest
“Much more than a book about pottery, this volume employs colonoware as a tool for exploring the complex cultural negotiations taking place in the historic Southeast. This volume deftly weaves together the many threads of colonoware research to date, offering new models for material culture analyses in such contexts. An insightful work of this kind has been long overdue.”—Lindsay Bloch is editor of Southeastern Archaeology and Principal for Tempered Archaeological Services, LLC.
