Portos clandestinos e o comércio de escravizados em Sergipe:
uma proposta arqueológica da dinâmica do tráfico e suas manifestações no presente
Abstract
This paper constitutes a analysis proposal of the locations utilized in the African slave trade within the territory of Sergipe. It places particular emphasis on the dynamics of ports and commercial routes that emerged in the Hydrographic Basin of the Rio Real and Rio Piauí during the illegal transatlantic trade era, spanning from 1831 to the 1850s. By employing an archaeological approach that intertwines with historical research and draws from the social memory of quilombola communities, the goal is to make significant strides in the investigation of clandestine trafficking in Sergipe. Additionally, it aims to engage in a discourse regarding the enduring impacts of slavery's crimes on contemporary society, with a special focus on the strategically utilized ports for the trade of African lives.
