Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article provides discussion and commentary on the theoretical and methodological contributions provided by the studies included in this thematic collection of articles entitled "Refuge and Support: Historical Archaeologies of Multiracial Native American and African American Sites and Communities." I also address related issues in my research on Angola, a historic maroon community in Florida. The history of Angola and the surrounding region included individuals of Seminole and African American heritage and the creation of a maroon community of refuge from European American slavery and racism.
