Description

Explore a unique historical perspective on the Transatlantic slave trade with this academic work from Oxford University Press. Between 1680 and 1807, approximately 2.7 million Africans were forced to cross the Atlantic on British slave ships during the journey known as the Middle Passage. While the slave ship stands as the largest artefact of this era, the scarcity of shipwreck sites makes traditional maritime archaeology difficult. This book offers a new approach to studying this history. Instead of relying solely on rare underwater wrecks, the text argues for alternative methods to materialize the slave ship through historical archaeology. It provides a deep look into British slave shipping practices and the material realities of the vessels used during this period. This is an essential resource for students, historians, and researchers interested in maritime history and the archaeology of the slave trade.
