The colonial archaeology of the British Atlantic world has been the major focus of the archaeology of early modern literate societies since the 1960s. This research brings to completion a book that draws together the principal results of fieldwork across the circum-Atlantic world - in North America, the Caribbean, Africa and the United Kingdom - and summarises the contribution of this work to our knowledge of a number of key themes in early modern Atlantic history. It provides a comparative investigation of how studies of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century archaeological material can contribute to our understanding of British colonialism. By providing integrated accounts of early modern Atlantic historical archaeology, and a bibliographic essay on historical archaeology in the early modern Atlantic, the research compares the alternative approaches of regional traditions of historical archaeology around the Atlantic rim. The research will inform the development of further research in historical archaeology and the history of the early modern Atlantic, and will represent an extended case study in comparative world archaeology and the archaeology of colonialism. The results of the research will also be presented at the Society for Historical Archaeology's international conference at Jamestown, Virginia.

自20世纪60年代以来，英属大西洋世界的殖民考古学一直是早期现代文学社会考古学的主要焦点。这项研究完成了一本书，它汇集了在北美、加勒比、非洲和英国的环大西洋世界实地考察的主要结果，并总结了这项工作对我们了解早期现代大西洋历史的一些关键主题的贡献。它提供了17世纪和18世纪考古材料的研究如何有助于我们对英国殖民主义的理解的比较调查。通过提供对早期现代大西洋历史考古学的综合描述，以及一篇关于早期现代大西洋历史考古学的书目论文，本研究比较了大西洋沿岸地区历史考古学传统的不同方法。这项研究将为历史考古学和早期现代大西洋历史的进一步研究提供信息，并将代表比较世界考古学和殖民主义考古学的扩展案例研究。研究结果也将在弗吉尼亚州詹姆斯敦举行的历史考古学会国际会议上发表。
