Abstract

This thesis seeks to test the applicability of small-scale archaeological analysis to demonstrating changes in a single entity that moves from a bilateral trade system to a multilateral system within a wider world system, and what if any societal implications this would have. The thesis applies Immanuel Wallerstein's model of colonial exploitation whereby colonies can be subjected to exploitation from any core power. The thesis is divided into two parts. Part I provides the historical background and context for the second part of the thesis. Part II examines the types of ceramics found in three households in historic St. Augustine, and their points of manufacture. The ceramics under investigation were manufactured between 1600--1763, albeit the main period of focus is 1702--1763. The results of this study demonstrate the utility of using small-scale analysis on archaeological data to gain a better understanding of the complex interplay between historic St. Augustine and England.
