“…Most historical archaeologists recognize that the mass production of consumer goods after the 1760s changed consumer behaviour, and that this shift is visible in the archaeological record of places like Marshall's Pen (e.g. Cook et al 1996;Jones 1993;Klein 1991;Mullins 1999a, b;Orser 1992;Shackel 1992). The ubiquitous presence of refined earthenwares in archaeological contexts-particularly creamwares, pearlwares, and whitewares-is a reflection of these shifts in behaviour, and has been associated with the emergence of early modernity by a number of historical archaeologists (e.g.…”

________________________________________________________________The rise of modernity in Europe resulted in the redefinition of social relations between those in control of the apparatus of the state and economy on the one hand, and those who worked and lived within that apparatus on the other. This shift in the definition of the basic social unit from subject to individual citizen was fraught with tension, and resulted in vast changes in the lives of colonized people throughout the European sphere of control. While the material manifestations of these historical processes were many, this article considers how two phenomena associated with modernity impacted the lives of people enslaved at Marshall's Pen, a Jamaican coffee plantation, in the opening decades of the 19th century. These two considerations included the spread of mass-produced goods mediated through the rise of consumerism visible through archaeologically recovered material culture, and shifting definitions of the relationships between space and social organization reflecting in changing settlement patterns of village life. ________________________________________________________________Resumen: La expansió n de la modernidad en Europa redefinió las relaciones sociales entre quienes controlaban el aparato estatal y la economía y quienes trabajaban y vivían dentro de ese aparato.

“…There are references to the early settlers being issued with salt pork and beef provisions from the Government stores, but this meat, transported from England in barrels, would have left no archaeological evidence as the meat is boned before salting 52 This particular interpretation was clearly at odds with the available literature at the time of writing, 53 and has subsequently been recognised as an incorrect interpretation in publications by English and Birmingham 54 Olive Jones' later assertion that it "will be difficult to identify the specific contents of staved containers from archaeological sites" is clearly not the case with casks obtained from well-preserved shipwreck sites such as William Salthouse 55 Building construction materials Timber and nails were the principal building construction materials in the cargo of William Salthouse. The outbound cargo manifest from Montréal listed 498,400 feet of boards, 812 pieces of deals, 50 pieces of boards, and 26 casks of nails.…”

Le William Salthouse a été le premier navire marchand à quitter le Dominion britannique du Canada avec une cargaison de marchandises à destination des colonies anglaises nouvellement établies en Australie. Le navire a péri le 27 novembre 1841 en essayant d’entrer dans le port de Phillip Heads à la fin d’un voyage qui l’avait mené de Montréal et Québec jusqu’à Melbourne.Les recherches historiques et archéologiques ont révélé qu’une grande partie de la cargaison de viande et de poisson salés était contenue dans des tonneaux, contenants qui étaient les plus utilisés pour l’expédition des marchandises en vrac durant la première moitié du dix-neuvième siècle. Des informations sur l’origine des marchandises, le poids et le contenu sont inscrits sur bon nombre des tonneaux. La cargaison contenait également de l’alcool en bouteilles et en tonneaux. Cet article établit un lien entre les témoignages archéologiques et historiques au sujet de la cargaison et le contexte économique et social dans lequel se déroulait le commerce entre le Canada et l’Australie à l’époque. Le William Salthouse nous permet ainsi de mieux comprendre à la fois Montréal, une ville portuaire établie de longue date, et Melbourne, alors au seuil d’une période de développement urbain soutenu

The rise of modernity in Europe resulted in the redefinition of social relations between those in control of the apparatus of the state and economy on the one hand, and those who worked and lived within that apparatus on the other. This shift in the definition of the basic social unit from subject to individual citizen was fraught with tension, and resulted in vast changes in the lives of colonized people throughout the European sphere of control. The social and material manifestations of these historical processes were many; this article considers how phenomena associated with colonial modernity impacted the lives of people enslaved at Marshall's Pen, a Jamaican coffee plantation, in the opening decades of the nineteenth century. To this end, this article examines the negotiation of the social and material realities of nineteenth-century colonialism through the spread of massproduced goods mediated through the rise of consumerism visible through archaeologically recovered material culture, the imposition of age-grade, gendered, ethnic and racial categorizations as manifestations of a rationalized social order, the increased focus on the individual as a self-regulating member of a moralized social order, and shifting definitions of the relationships between space and social organization reflecting in changing settlement patterns of village life.Keywords Colonialism . Jamaica . Racialization . Consumerism . ModernityAlthough there are many ways to interpret how the various expressions of European colonialism have historically shaped interactions between European and nonEuropean people, one approach is to consider late eighteenth-and early nineteenth-century colonialism as a manifestation of the newly emerging consciousness of modernity. As I have elsewhere discussed (Delle 2008), modernity is a complex set of social phenomena woven from various strands of ongoing historical Int J Histor Archaeol (2009) 13:488-512
