Archaeology and slave resistance and rebellion
Abstract
The archaeology of New World slavery has exponentially expanded during the past two decades to become perhaps the most influential area within today's historical archaeology. As part of this research endeavour, archaeologists have examined many kinds of sites and have made diverse and important contributions to the literature. Sites associated with fugitive slaves have been studied, but not as frequently. We argue that the archaeology of slave resistance and rebellion should be a key element of New World slave archaeology, and we promote the excavation of runaway polities, or maroons, as excellent arenas for such a study. We present an example from Palmares in northeastern Brazil as part of this exploration.

Documentary evidence highlights instances of individual acts of rebellion such as 'sabotage of machinery, destruction of crops or animals, feigning ignorance, self-mutilation, and even suicide' as well as the more notorious mass action rebellion events.

More recent scholarship indicates that resistance in the Caribbean and Southern US regions took place on varying levels, and many scholars now believe that the conflict between masters and enslaved persons was part of an ongoing process in which resistance was a part of daily life and could vary between subtle individual acts of resistance to full-scale community revolts.

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.
