Although information about the lives of enslaved people in New York is too often missing from the written record, archaeology can provide important insight into the daily life, values, and traditions of enslaved people. Recent investigations show there are ways of ‘seeing’ African Americans in diverse households, even when enslaved people did not live in separate quarters from their enslavers. In partnership with the New York Archaeology Conference, NYSM and visiting archaeologists will present new research based on their work within plural households and communities in New York, followed by discussions with the audience.
