Satellite Remote Sensing of Archaeological Vegetation Signatures in Coastal West Africa (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sean H. Reid.

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)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Sara Ayers-Rigsby. Rachael Kangas.

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)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Dru McGill. John Wall. John K. Millhauser. Vincent Melomo. Ruth Little.

Free African-Americans established Oberlin Village outside Raleigh, North Carolina in 1866 at the end of the Civil War.

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...
