DESCRIPTION:Is there a material signature for slavery and colonialism? The
  West African coast\, with its European forts and castles that were involv
 ed in the transatlantic slave trade (15th–19th century)\, is one such pl
 ace. In this talk\, Christian Mader and Philip Atta Mensah\, will present 
 the initial findings of a recent collaborative project at Fort William in 
 Ghana\, a pivotal site in the British slave trade. The project takes an in
 terdisciplinary approach to Fort William\, integrating material culture st
 udies\, digital archaeology\, historical research\, community-based method
 s\, and multi-sensory ethnographic techniques. By foregrounding the materi
 al\, phenomenological\, and sensory dimensions of slavery and colonialism\
 , this research reconceptualises the European forts not only as logistical
  nodes of imperial commerce and violence\, but as enduring architectures o
 f exploitation that continue to shape social\, spatial\, and political rea
 lities in postcolonial contexts.
