Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Belvoir: An Archaeology of Maryland Slavery offers a fascinating account of the Belvoir Quarter for enslaved workers at Belvoir, a 1730's Maryland manor and plantation owned by descendants of Francis Scott Key. Julie M. Schablitsky excavated the brick and stone Belvoir Quarter and found architectural features with layers of artifacts spanning more than eighty years of habitation. Belvoir takes the discovery of the quarter along with its material culture, such as sherds, buttons, tobacco pipe stems, food remains, and spiritual items, and discusses the finds in the context of other similar sites of enslavement.
