Abstract

This article aims to analyze all post-mortem inventories found in the archive of the Casa Setecentista de Mariana, regarding the years 1713-1756 (a total of 366). It does so by establishing a pattern of slave ownership in Vila do Carmo - part of the judicial district of Vila Rica, in the captaincy of Minas Gerais -, as well as analyzing slave prices fluctuations. In order to better understand such patterns and fluctuations, a comparative analysis is attempted, between the data concerning the period under study studied and those from 1750 up to 1850.
