AIA Lecture: Kinglsey + Bulowville: A Comparative Study of Enslavement
UNF Archaeology Lab
March 17, 12:00:00 PM — 01:00:00 PM
Kingsley Plantation and Bulowville: A Comparative Study of Enslavement in Early 19th Century Florida African Diaspora Archaeology can trace its origin to the 1968 excavation of a slave cabin at Kingsley Plantation on Fort George Island (Duval County), Florida in 1968. Between 2006 and 2013, eight summer excavations were conducted at this historical site, to revisit this pioneering work, and ask new questions regarding the lives of enslaved Africans in these New World contexts. Four summer field excavations of two cabins and adjoining yards at Bulowville (2014-2017) allow us to compare and contrast two radically different slave owners, and in the process, see some of the impacts of these differences manifested materially, in the lives of the Africans who resided there in early 19th century Florida. Presented by Dr. James Davidson, University of Florida
