Figure 3: The fieldwalking data collected during the rapid survey of Millfield (bottom left) and Upper Tenantry (top right) at Mount, overlaid on aerial image. The schematic colour bars reflect the density of finds in each 30m section of the furrows. Satellite imagery ©2013 Google and ©2013 DigitalGlobe.

Figure 4: Assemblage from Upper Tenantry showing the presence of whiteware, pearlware and glass suggesting proximity of habitation in the nineteenth century.

Figure 5: Assemblage from Millfield showing the greater predominance of course earthenwares associated with industrial sugar production and the lesser proportions of tablewares seen in Upper Tenantry.

Figure 7: (a) Upper Tenantry: whitewares with cut-sponge and under-glaze painted decoration; mid- to late 19th century; (b) Upper Tenantry: whiteware plate with moulded shell edge with even scallops, coloured blue under the glaze; 1820s-1840s; (c) Upper Tenantry: whiteware plates with moulded shell (right) and leaf frond (left) edges, coloured blue under the glaze; 1830s-1840s; (d) Upper Tenantry: whiteware sherds with slip decoration; mid- to late 19th century

Figure 8: (a) Upper Tenantry: pearlwares and whitewares with under-glaze painted decoration and (top right) banded and feather slip decoration; mid-19th century; (b) Upper Tenantry: refined yellow wares with banded slip and mocha decoration; mid-19th century

Figure 9: Overview of gradiometry (top) and resistivity (below) surveys conducted at Mount, Barbados. Gradiometry surveys were conducted with a Geoscan FM36 and were undertaken using a 1 x 0.25 m sampling strategy, interpolated to 0.5 x 0.25 m. Resistivity surveys conducted with a Geoscan RM15 and were undertaken using a 1 x 0.5 m sampling strategy, interpolated to 0.5 x 0.5 m. Satellite imagery ©2013 Google and ©2013 DigitalGlobe.

Figure 10: Lower Pasture surveys including gradiometry (top left), resistivity (top right) and combined interpretation (bottom). Gradiometry survey shown at -6nT (white) to +6nT (black) with high density sampling undertaken in the south-western corner (0.5 x 0.25m interpolated to 0.25 x 0.25m) shown at -6nT (white) to +6nT (black). Resistivity survey undertaken shown at 45 ohms (white) to 90 ohms (black)
