Here we go again Merry Christmas George!!Curious The George said:How are you able to determine what ever is in the photo is "slave tools"?
What little I can make out, a hoe head, looks like a common farm implement that would be found on any old farm field or home site. Slaves or no slaves the corn and cotton got the weeds hoed out.
ivan salis said:if the hoe was found "in context" along with the other items dating from the mid to early 1800 's when the farm was being used as a "slave platation" when slaves were used as "feild laborers' -- frankly speaking -- it is not logical to think that the tools were not used by them . (because thats what the slaves were there to do -- the hard dirty manual grunt feild labor )
a lot of this has to do with knowing the sites history

As simple as a claim may be those tools could have belonged to later family members of pre revolutionary settlers or slaves.
