Enslaved Community Kitchen This cluster of excavated foundations supported a kitchen, an aboveground cistern, and a large open hearth. Here enslaved cooks prepared the midday communal meal for enslaved field hands, mill workers, people who worked in the barns, skilled artisans, and others who labored nearby. This meal was transported to field hands, while others received their food at the kitchen.
