An Archaeological Investigation Of Enslavement At Gamble Plantation, S. Matthew Litteral
An Archaeological Investigation Of Enslavement At Gamble Plantation, S. Matthew Litteral
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
In this thesis, I have compiled information from archives, remote sensing, and archaeological excavation to shed light upon an understudied chapter of Florida’s history, specifically, African American heritage components at Gamble Plantation. My goal is to provide a better understanding of the daily lives of enslaved individuals who were held in bondage at Gamble Plantation (8MA100), located along the Manatee River in Ellenton, Fl. Through my work, I hope to engage descendant communities in future archaeological research and promote a more balanced and inclusive historical narrative for Gamble Plantation State Park.
