The development of iron technologies in mid–eighteenth Century Britain led to an explosion in the variety and scope of iron objects manufactured for the consumer market. One of the primary markets for iron goods was the Caribbean plantation complex. An astonishing amount of iron ware was shipped to Jamaica, where archaeological investigations at Marshalls Pen, a nineteenth-century coffee plantation, recovered a variety of iron tools and other metal objects from enslaved household contexts. A selection of these tools show evidence that the enslaved population of the plantation reshaped these tools for their own purposes.

牙买加奴隶制的政治经济学中重新使用的金属物体

18世纪中叶，英国铁技术的发展导致为消费市场生产的铁制品的种类和范围激增。铁产品的主要市场之一是加勒比种植园。数量惊人的铁器皿被运往牙买加，在那里，十九世纪咖啡种植园马歇尔·彭（Marshalls Pen）的考古调查从受奴役的家庭环境中回收了各种铁器工具和其他金属物品。这些工具的选择表明有证据表明，被奴役的人工林改变了这些工具的用途。
