An Archaeology of Elmina delves into the intricate history of a multifaceted African settlement situated along the coast of present-day Ghana, spanning from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries. By employing a comprehensive array of archaeological evidence, European narratives, and indigenous oral traditions, the book offers a profound exploration of this settlement. Moreover, Christopher DeCorse contextualizes the site as the inaugural European trading post in sub-Saharan Africa, shedding light on the subsequent developments influenced by the expansion of Portuguese, Dutch, and British forces. Through meticulous analysis, he highlights the remarkable cultural resilience that persisted amidst sweeping technological transformations. Originally published by the Smithsonian Institution Press in 2001, An Archaeology of Elmina stands as a valuable contribution to our understanding of the complex tapestry of African history.
