Much of the literature on plantations in archaeology leaves capitalism as a strangely absent force, particularly when the focus is on enslaved communities, with the exception of work on Jamaica influenced by B.W. Higman which focuses on the landscapes of plantations as capitalist forms.
“Yet in much of the literature on plantations in archaeology leaves capitalism as a strangely absent force, particularly when the focus is on enslaved communities (Deetz 1993; Wilkie and Farnsworth 2005; cf. Croucher, this volume; Hauser, this volume), with the exception of work on Jamaica, influenced by the scholarship of B.W. Higman (1987, 2000) which focuses on the landscapes of plantations as”

Colonial rule by Europeans in Jamaica was a key area in fashioning ideas of delineated and segmented state rule, and European - specifically British - rule was the generative legal power structure for the lives of enslaved laborers on Jamaica.
“Colonial rule by Europeans is taken as a given here, since this was a key area in fashioning ideas of delineated and segmented state rule (Delle 1998; Higman 1987), and since European - specifically British - rule, was the generative legal power structure for the lives of enslaved laborers on Jamaica.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
