Reviews
"Asuccessful study of the incorporation of ceramics into the emerging Creolesocial system in the French West Indies." -- American Antiquity "Arcangeliuses her analyses to give insight into social and cultural aspects of thesociety. . . . Recommended."-- Choice "Aninvaluable source for both interpretive insight and comparative reference fordomestic ceramic signatures as varied by class, race, occupation, and economy."-- HistoricalArchaeology "Shedsnew and interesting light on the daily lives of urban households in a Caribbeanisland during the slavery era. It is an innovative and illuminating example ofthe use of the methods of historic archaeology to study la vie quotidienne in a colonial society."-- Caribbean Quarterly "Arichly textured and nuanced analysis of life in the French Caribbean colony of Guadeloupeduring the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries from the point of view ofceramic users, rather than from the perspective of producers, in the context ofdaily use." -- CambridgeArchaeological Journal "Readersgain a strong sense of how ceramics were used in everyday eighteenth- andnineteenth-century life and work, often by enslaved domestic workers gatheringwater, setting tables, cooking food and promoting bodily health."-- Antiquity "Providesscholars with a trove of insights into the variety of Guadeloupe'sceramic-related practices . . . and their similarities and differences acrossclass and race divides and between colony and metropole that will resonate forceramic analyses, future studies of Guadeloupe, and broader comparativeanalyses of colonial contexts across the globe."-- AmericanAnthropologist

Synopsis
This book examines ceramic artifacts from the island of Guadeloupe to reveal information about daily life in the French colonial Caribbean., Investigating ceramic artifacts to better understand daily life in the French colonial Caribbean Ceramics serve as one of the best-known artifacts excavated by archaeologists. They are carefully described, classified, and dated, but rarely do scholars consider their many and varied uses. Breaking from this convention, Myriam Arcangeli examines potsherds from four colonial sites in the Antillean island of Guadeloupe to discover what these everyday items tell us about the people who used them. In the process, she reveals a wealth of information about the lives of the elite planters, the middle and lower classes, and enslaved Africans. By analyzing how the people of Guadeloupe used ceramics--whether jugs for transporting and purifying water, pots for cooking, or pearlware for eating--Arcangeli spotlights the larger social history of Creole life. What emerges is a detail rich picture of water consumption habits, changing foodways, and concepts of health. Sherds of History offers a compelling and novel study of the material record and the "ceramic culture" it represents to broaden our understanding of race, class, and gender in French-colonial societies in the Caribbean and the United States. Arcangeli's innovative interpretation of the material record will challenge the ways archaeologists analyze ceramics., "A fresh look at the French Caribbean through the many forms of pottery used by colonists, Creoles, and slaves. Offers a trove of original and often surprising insights on foodways, gender, ethnicity, health, and even attitudes about water, cleanliness, and poisoning at this crossroads of the Atlantic world."--Gregory Waselkov, author of A Conquering Spirit: Fort Mims and the Redstick War of 1813-1814 "A unique and focused analysis of the ways in which clay-bodied materials infused everyday colonial life with meaning and distinction."--Mark W. Hauser, author of An Archaeology of Black Markets Ceramics serve as one of the best-known artifacts excavated by archaeologists.
