Collaborative Archaeology to Revitalize an Afro-Ecuadorian Cemetery
Abstract
This article presents an ongoing project to revitalize an Afro-Ecuadorian cemetery called the “Garden of Memory, Martina Carrillo,” dating from the eighteenth through twentieth centuries, and located in the community of La Concepción, in the Chota-Mira Valley of northern Ecuador. Throughout the design of a proposal for restoration of the cemetery the community of African descendants, including the National Coordinator of Black Women-Carchi, called CONAMUNE-Carchi, and a group of Ecuadorian archaeologists, employed a collaborative approach to the history and restoration of this sacred place. The archaeological project contributes to the recognition of local histories, development of an intercultural investigation, a reflexive understanding of the past and material culture of local community members, and commemoration of their African diaspora ancestors. This project’s methodology focused on achieving a form of historical reparations for the African descendants who were impacted by colonial slavery and racism in Ecuador.

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.
