Abstract

In the summer of 2017, we, as members of the Society of Black Archaeologists (SBA), initiated a sustainable archaeological project on the island of St. Croix in collaboration with several local and international partners. Only a few months later, Hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated much of the US Virgin Islands causing substantial loss in life and property, widespread displacement, damage to infrastructure, and negative impacts to important historical landscapes and heritage resources. This article outlines the effects of hurricane damage on African diaspora heritage sites in St. Croix and our response as Black archaeologists committed to community empowerment. Learning from the recent events, we offer recommendations for standardized methods of site documentation that can be adopted by archaeologists and heritage professionals working in the circum‐Caribbean to better assess site damage and develop protective conservation techniques before major catastrophic events.

  • In St. Croix, legal protections from government sources are extended mainly to sites with standing sugar mills and other spaces of colonial occupation, and not to sites associated with spirit trees, unmarked graves, oral histories, and other African diasporic heritage, which arguably hold greater importance within the Crucian community.

    “While in contrast legal protections from government sources are extended mainly to sites with standing sugar mills and other spaces of colonial occupation in St. Croix, the same equitable protection is not extended to sites associated with extensive archival holdings, standing spirit trees or unmarked graves, or spaces with oral histories associated with independent Black markets, Free Black hom”

  • Historically, Black archaeology projects emerged as a direct result of community agitation and ensured that descendant community concerns remained paramount to researchers' ambitions.

    “Historically, Black archaeology projects-such as the New York African Burial Ground (NYABG), the Estate Little Princess Archaeology Project (ELPAP; Dunnavant et al. 2018), Walter C. Pierce Community Park Project (Dunnavant 2017), and others-emerged as a direct result of community agitation and ensured that descendant community concerns remained paramount to researchers' ambitions.”

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.
