Abstract

Archaeological studies have primarily focused on reconstructing the lifestyles of African American communities in the north eastern United States and southern plantations. This chapter presents a vivid biocultural study of burials from the First African Baptist Church (FABC) that provides another angle to the story about the welfare and health of Africans forcibly brought to the New World. It presents a case study where the focus is on the application of a biocultural approach to a biohistory of a nineteenth-century African American population. Individuals who were invisible under the ground, invisible in the city's historical memory and the historical record were identified and placed into American history and the biohistory of the African Diaspora. The overall results from the project include a discussion of the material lives of African Americans and the women of the FABC. The skeletal remains evidenced the impact of the African Americans' material lives on health status and mortality.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
