Public Archaeology and Critical Histories: Collaborative Archaeology in Southern Illinois
Abstract
This article considers how historical archaeologists and scholars of African-American heritage can work to decolonize existing historical narratives about our communities. I discuss an archaeological and historical work on a farmstead in rural southern Illinois, occupied by my African-American ancestors from the early nineteenth century onward. This project’s goals are multi-faceted. I seek to contribute to the often-invisible histories of Black pioneers, and to undertake an excavation open to the public, aided by community participation, and centered on community members’ questions about the area’s past. While my professional research questions focus on examining the material residues of changing processes of racialization in the nineteenth century, as a stakeholder and community member my research goals focus on making archaeological history accessible to a rural community.

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.
