Abstract
Abstract This chapter addresses the development of the archaeology of the African diaspora in South America. This is a field that timidly emerged in the late twentieth century in a few South American countries, particularly Brazil, and has substantially increased during the first quarter of this century. While the early studies have focused on maroon settlements, like the Quilombo dos Palmares, the research scope has amplified in the last decades to include slave quarters, cemeteries, and urban contexts, under theoretical perspectives which emphasize power relations and cultural contact theories. The chapter begins characterizing the Atlantic slave trade to the continent, followed by a general description of the archaeological scholarship encompassing the main contexts that have been studied, and the debates that have marked the field.
