考古学家在二十多年前就开始研究奴隶制，从那时起，这种兴趣迅速增长，成为后哥伦布时期考古学中最受欢迎的研究专业之一。本文回顾了对奴隶制考古记录的解释，旨在分析四个主题：奴隶制下的生活条件、种植园社区内的地位差异、种植园主统治与奴隶抵抗的关系以及非裔美国人文化认同的形成。它还讨论了这项研究进行的社会政治背景，并强烈建议采取更大的努力，纳入非裔美国人的观点，为这项研究提供信息。
Archaeologists began to study slavery more than two decades ago, and since that time this interest has rapidly grown to become one of the most popular research specialties in the archaeology of the post-Columbian period. This essay reviews the interpretation of the archaeological record of slavery directed toward the analysis of four themes: living conditions under slavery, status differences within the plantation community, relationships of planter dominance and slave resistance, and formation of African-American cultural identity. It also discusses the sociopolitical context within which this study has operated and strongly recommends that greater efforts be taken to include African-American perspectives to inform this research.
