Sankofa in Cyberspace: Developing New and Social Media at the African Burial Ground National Monument (2013)
The African Burial Ground National Monument is one of the smallest units of the National Park Service. Established in 2006, this still developing institution has developed an outsized presence in new and social media; in a short time it has become the most followed unit of the National Park Service on twitter, and has found ways to use podcasts and QR codes to expand the interpretive profile of the site. These efforts have fhelped unite a disparate series of interest groups,...
Satellite Remote Sensing of Archaeological Vegetation Signatures in Coastal West Africa (2016)
This paper illustrates how images captured by satellite remote sensing technology can be used to detect vegetation that indicates archaeological sites in West Africa. These sites are typically marked by a pattern of vegetation that differs from the surrounding landscape, including concentrations of very large trees with sociocultural and historical significance: cotton (Ceiba pentandra) and baobab (Adansonia digitata). These features are conspicuous elements of the landscape both from the ground...

Save our Sites! Using Archaeology to Educate the Public about Climate Change in South Florida. (2018)
Miami is often presented as the poster child of sea level rise; while climate change is generally accepted as an observable fact in south Florida, elsewhere this issue is regarded as too politically charged for frequent discussion. This renders sensitive archaeological sites vulnerable to coastal erosion, storm surge, and other factors. The Florida Public Archaeology Network’s Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS) Florida program is designed to raise awareness of how these factors will impact...
Saving Oberlin: African-American Historic Archaeology and Preservation in Raleigh, North Carolina (2018)
Free African-Americans established Oberlin Village outside Raleigh, North Carolina in 1866 at the end of the Civil War. Within two generations, the people of Oberlin had constructed churches, a school, a cemetery, shops, and many homes. Today, Oberlin continues to be an important site for African-American history and identity. For example, Oberlin Cemetery (established 1873) is one of only four African-American cemeteries in Raleigh. The cemetery’s more than 600 graves include many leading...
Say It with Flowers: Recording African-American Gardening Traditions Using Terrestrial LiDAR and Oral History (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Technology and Public Outreach" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. African-American gardening traditions involving such features as wheels, bottle trees, mirros, and silvered statuary have been identified across the United States. What are not always included in analyses of these gardens are the significance of flowers and other plantings or the changes within a garden over time. Together, terrestrial LiDAR and...
Scalar Analysis of Early 19th century Household Assemblages—Focus on Communities of the African Atlantic (2013)
Recent research on early 19th-century slave households at James Madison’s Montpelier in Virginia has focused on comparative household assemblage analysis on a number of levels including the local (between households within a single community), region (households within a market region), and the Atlantic (comparison of households between Jamaica and the Chesapeake). An important element in this comparative household analysis is scalar analysis. Scalar analysis is an analytical tool that allows...
