Abstract
This chapter introduces Jefferson's enslaved community and explores the debate over the extent to which agricultural systems determine social organization within plantation settings. The author compares the timing and scope of the transition from tobacco to grain cultivation at Poplar Forest and Monticello around 1790 to the spatial organization of enslaved plantation households, paying particular attention to architecture and the occurrence and frequency of subfloor pits. After detailing the results of excavations at three Poplar Forest quartering sites-Wingos quarter, the North Hill quarter, and an early-nineteenth-century quarter-she concludes that architectural changes in quarters were set in motion by planters' acknowledgement of the importance of supporting the growth of enslaved families, beginning in the 1750s and 1760s, not by the introduction of grain agriculture in the 1790s.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
