ARQUEOLOGIA DA RESISTÊNCIA ESCRAVA
Resumo
RESUMO:A Arqueologia da escravidão no Novo Mundo tem expandido exponencialmente durante as duas últimas décadas tornando-se, provavelmente, a área de maior influência dentro da Arqueologia Histórica na atualidade. Como parte do esforço dessa pesquisa, arqueólogos têm examinado vários tipos de sítios e realizado diversas e importantes contribuições para a literatura. Tem-se estudado, mas não com muita freqüência, sítios relacionados a escravos fugidos. Argumentamos que a arqueologia da resistência e rebelião escrava deveria constituir um elemento chave para a Arqueologia da escravidão no Novo Mundo e nós propugnamos a escavação dos quilombos como arenas excelentes para tal estudo. Apresentamos um exemplo de Palmares, no nordeste do Brasil, como parte dessa pesquisa. 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 endeavor, 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.Referências
