Abstract: | The excavations at Bush Hill House were sponsored because of its association with a notable historical figure, yet the archaeologists
were more interested in what we saw as the “bigger” picture: colonialism; slavery; the Atlantic World. This paper addresses
both the micro scale—individual deposits and individual people—and the macro scale—placing this site within the larger world of the British Atlantic of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth
centuries. Not surprisingly, both scales, when considered explicitly, offer insights into past social worlds and archaeologists’
means of discovering them. |
