“…For her, hybridity represents a more level historical playing field. Moussette (2003) defines a similar process of hybrid mixing as me´tissage, which has been fundamental to the Me´tis themselves, descendants of Native American women and French male trappers who have been able to secure federal status as a recognized First Nations group in Canada. Finally, within the linguistic realm are Bakhtin's (1981) ideas about hybridity, which have influenced several archaeologists (Liebmann, 2013(Liebmann, , 2015Loren, 2013Loren, , 2015 and link nicely with postcolonial theory, especially the distinctions between organic hybridity and intentional hybridity.…”

Hybridity as an interpretive construct in the archaeology of colonialism has encountered many pitfalls, due largely to the way it has been set adrift from clear theoretical anchors and has been applied inconsistently to things, practices, processes, and even people. One of the telltale signs of its problematic nature is the ease with which archaeologists claim to identify the origin and existence of hybridity but the difficulty faced if asked when and how such hybridity actually ends, if it does. In that context, this paper offers a potential requiem for hybridity. If we need not go that far, archaeologists at least need to rein in the ''Frankenstein'' version of hybridity that permeates archaeology and occludes its variable and problematic origins, acknowledge the dangers of accentuating or even celebrating ''purées,'' and beware of the creation of cultural ''mules'' in analytical classifications and interpretations.

“…The social space resulting from the interaction of these various groups must have been an admixture of overlapping sensibilities and expectations. If, as Moussette (2003) has suggested, it was a space characterized by instability, this may well have given rise to hybrid cultural forms only some of which are visible in the archaeological record. Although subtle in character, these hybrid forms may have included items such as the handled pot, or the European coins etched with Native symbols.…”

IntroductionFrom the outset the archaeological investigations at Sylvester Manor have had a dual purpose. The first was to explore the early history of the property, during the period that it supplied provisions for two large sugar plantations on Barbados. The second was to further refine the multi-disciplinary, multi-scalar approach employed in those investigations. Over the course of the past nine field seasons the ability to experiment with new methods and techniques has been one of the great luxuries of project. From the use of geophysical survey in planning the overall excavation strategy to our experiments with micro-stratigraphic block lifts, the results have proven both instructive and informative. Although questions still remain concerning the archaeology of the manor and its interpretation, there seems little doubt concerning the productivity of the approach brought to the project.In summarizing the results of our investigations we are struck by the organic quality of the overall strategy that has been employed in the endeavor. Many of the excavation and sampling protocols we began with have changed, although not dramatically. Our initial use of arbitrary, 10 cm levels within visibly differentiated stratigraphic levels has proven to be useful in discerning depositional differences within what appear to be discrete layers. Five cm levels have proven even more sensitive, while a limited employment of microstratigraphic analysis offers the greatest resolution when needed. A large-scale archaeobiological sampling program proved to be overly ambitious and in many cases redundant. In some instances decisions to change sampling protocols were due to a demonstrated lack of results. Such was the case with parasitological analysis, and to a lesser degree the study of insect remains. After several seasons it was decided that samples for these analyses would no longer be collected unless a specific context were encountered that would promote better preservation, such as a privy or drain.These kinds of changes are inevitable in any long-term project and are part of the archaeological process, a concept Hodder is correct Conclusion: Meditations on the Archaeology of Northern PlantationsStephen A.
