Description:	In this book, I examine the archaeology of clove plantations (Fig. 1.1), at once a familiar and unfamiliar topic for historical archaeologists. Familiar in that plantation archaeology has long been a mainstay of the discipline, as has the investigation of global capitalism. Unfamiliar in that this is a study of Eastern Africa, and of islands that were closely linked in to the Middle East. While recent studies have tried to globalize historical archaeology (Baram and Caroll 2002; Falk 1991; Orser 1996), the majority of work remains tied to North America and Europe, with increasing amounts of work in West Africa (DeCorse 2001; Gijanto 2011; Monroe and Ogundiran 2012; Norman 2009a) and South Africa (Hall 2000; Klose and Malan 2000; Schrire 1995). Colonialism, when discussed in reference to African archaeological contexts, usually appears to be axiomatic with European global dominance. In both West Africa and South Africa, the colonial period means simply European colonialism.
