Kumako: a place of convergence for Maroons and Amerindians in Suriname, SA
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
The author is exploring the site of Kumako in Suriname, a destination for Maroons escaping from plantations in coastal Suriname between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. She finds evidence for a structured settlement, distinctive pottery and local ritual practices, raising new questions about the degree of interaction and acculturation between Maroons and indigenous people.
