The Archaeology and History of Slavery.

Slavery, which forms a major part of human history, has affected every section of human society worldwide. Archaeology breaks the complexities of slavery through unearthing the remnants, and reconstruction of past societies. The origin of slavery is subjective.

In this article, an attempt has been made to study the history of slavery through archaeology in the context of African- American Slavery.
