(ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) Reviews Terrance Weik's volume is the latest addition to The American Experience in Archaeological Perspective series from the University Press of Florida. The archaeological contexts covered in this volume include those associated with the Underground Railroad, and self-liberated settlements, ranging from towns in the Mid-west United States through to palenques in Cuba. Rocky soil, short-term occupation, and small numbers of possessions may all make detailed contextual understandings of sites difficult, as is shown by work at Jose Leta, a mid-sixteenth-century self-liberated African community located in what is now the Dominican Republic (62).
