Abstract:

Andrew Madsen's article chronicled the findings of “The Road to Hope” excavation at Hope Plantation in Bertie County, occupied during the nineteenth century by the David Stone family. Undertaken in 2001-2002 by Coastal Carolina Research Inc., this study sought to better comprehend slaves’ retention of African cultural beliefs and practices within the development of a North Carolinian Creolized culture. This goal was met through the examination of Colonoware ceramic fragments, which were also compared to recoveries from Virginia and South Carolina Plantation sites.
