摘要

摘要洗衣房在19世纪种植园的家务劳动中占很大一部分。然而，尽管被奴役的非裔美国洗衣女工的任务无处不在，但在种植园劳动力的历史研究中却被忽视了。通过将对奴役劳动的考古解释置于洗衣的历史背景下，考古学家可以更好地将这一经常被忽视的家务劳动纳入对南方种植园女性劳动的解释中。利用这一技术，本文探讨了托马斯·杰斐逊在弗吉尼亚州中部的疗养院和种植园白杨林的洗钱行为。

“Take Heede When Ye Wash”: Recognizing the Labor of Enslaved Laundresses on Southern Plantations

ABSTRACT Laundry represented a significant portion of the domestic labor on nineteenth century plantations. However, despite the ubiquity of their task, enslaved African American washerwomen have been neglected in the historical study of plantation labor. By situating archaeological interpretations of enslaved labor within the historical context of laundry, archaeologists can better incorporate this oft-overlooked chore into interpretations of female labor on Southern plantations. Using this technique, this article explores laundering at Poplar Forest, Thomas Jefferson’s retreat home and plantation in central Virginia.

期刊介绍： Journal of African Diaspora Archaeology and Heritage provides a focal point for peer-reviewed publications in interdisciplinary studies in archaeology, history, material culture, and heritage dynamics concerning African descendant populations and cultures across the globe. The Journal invites articles on broad topics, including the historical processes of culture, economics, gender, power, and racialization operating within and upon African descendant communities. We seek to engage scholarly, professional, and community perspectives on the social dynamics and historical legacies of African descendant cultures and communities worldwide. The Journal publishes research articles and essays that review developments in these interdisciplinary fields.
