| African-American Archaeology Resource Kit
Housing and Artifacts Exercises |  | ||||
 | These exercises provide students with the opportunity to
analyze real archaeological and documentary data. They will use this
information to discover what types of houses enslaved and free African
Americans lived in during the period from circa 1700 to 1900, and to learn
about some of the objects that the residents of these houses might have
owned.
Information is provided for three sites in Virginia where archaeologists found evidence of houses occupied by enslaved and free people and artifacts associated with those houses. The artifacts are based on excavated examples found at each of the sites. Some of the resource material is shared between both the housing and artifact exercise, and some is specific to each. | ||||
