Black Disability Politics in Black Military Service
This article considers the role of the military in debilitating Black soldiers, focusing on the men who served in the Western Frontier immediately following the end of the Civil War, with particular attention to the men who served at Fort Davis, one of a string of posts located in West Texas. We frame this archaeological and archival research with critical disability studies to show how these men were motivated by what has recently been termed “B…
Imagining Archaeologies without Ableism
Living in the Past for a Better Future
This chapter provides a review of the papers focused on developing the ways that Contemporary Archaeologies in Old Places provides a framework for understanding ongoing processes of dispossession, displacement, and disenfranchisement historically experienced by marginalized and economically vulnerable populations. At the same time, through community-engaged praxis, the authors also demonstrate the ways that contemporary archaeological research ca…
Heritage Inheritances
In this paper the author pulls out themes that weave throughout the collection of papers. In particular, listening and learning become two "methodologies" of engaged, embodied, heritage praxis. Drawing on twenty years of work in heritage archaeology, the author attempts to recontextualize her embodied experiences of research and collaboration within the theorized frameworks and case studies found in the papers
Prologue. Peering into the Rooms of a Fraternity’s Far Past

At Freedom's Borderland
Conclusion
The essays in this volume challenge us to question what we know about Caribbean history and everyday life by turning our gaze from the very things that we have put boundaries on to those things we have not.

Archaeologies of Archaeologies of the Contemporary Past
This interview with Victor Buchli and Gavin Lucas was undertaken over email during the Summer / Autumn of 2013 and coordinated by Alfredo González-Ruibal on behalf of the editorial team: Alfredo González-Ruibal, Rodney Harrison, Cornelius Holtorf and Laurie Wilkie. An initial set of questions was drafted and agreed amongst members of the editorial team, and a series of follow-up questions (indicated by the presence of author’s initials) were subs…
Strung Out on Archaeology
Teaching the basic principles of archaeology through an “excavation” and analysis of New Orleans Mardi Gras parades and the beads thrown there? A student’s dream book! Award-winning historical archaeologist Laurie Wilkie takes her two loves and merges them into a brief, lively introductory textbook that is sure to actively engage students. She shows how her analysis of trinkets tossed from parade floats can illustrate major themes taught in intro…
Expelling frogs and binding babies
That pregnancy can be perceived as a blessed or cursed event is well-recognised in many contemporary societies, but it was a lived and embodied experience for African-American women in the Deep South of the United States in the 19th century. Oral histories from healers, root doctors and midwives of the late 19th and early 20th centuries paint a portrait of the fetus as an invasive spiritual malignancy to be driven from the body, or an ephemeral s…
Historical Archaeo-Geographies of Scaled Statehood
This paper discusses the ways that a more explicit engagement with the discipline of historical geography could contribute to archaeologies of the recent and contemporary past. Scholars working in this time period must consider multiple scales of connectivity between people and places through time and would benefit from political geography’s recent theorizing on scale and the state. We present a preliminary case study of what we term a historical…
The Lost Boys of Zeta Psi
The Lost Boys of Zeta Psi takes us inside the secret, amusing, and sometimes mundane world of a California fraternity around 1900. Gleaning history from recent archaeological excavations and from such intriguing sources as oral histories, architecture, and photographs, Laurie A. Wilkie uncovers details of everyday life in the first fraternity at the University of California, Berkeley, and sets this story into the rich social and historical contex…

Engendered and Feminist Archaeologies of the Recent and Documented Pasts
Sampling Many Pots
Chapter 6 interprets artifact distribution and types.I had some issues with this chapter.The authors want to see access to arms limited to the driver, yet their data show a wide distribution of arms among the village site.Arms artifacts were recovered from the drivers house, the slave kitchen, four of the six slave houses, and both slave barracks.The best exposure of a back yard was from Locus H.The excavations revealed two postholes carved into …
Inessential archaeologies
This paper will present an intellectual history of Americanist historical archaeology as it developed from the 1960s onwards within the context of processual archaeology and the resulting marginalization of studies of the recent past within Americanist archaeology. The paper will explore the intellectual problems and miss-steps caused by the artificial prehistory/history dichotomy prevalent in American archaeology. While many ‘prehistorians’ see …

The Archaeology of Mothering
Using archaeological materials recovered from a housesite in Mobile, Alabama, Laurie Wilkie explores how one extended African-American family engaged with competing and conflicting mothering ideologies in the post-Emancipation South

A Critical Archaeology Revisited
In 1987, a small number of historical archaeologists issued a call for archaeologists to embrace the teachings of critical theory so that their research could be used to challenge societal structures of inequality. Although community partnering, an outgrowth of critical theory, has become increasingly important to archaeological practice, a true archaeological "praxis" has yet to be achieved. Possible reasons for this include a decontextualizatio…

Considering the Future of African American Archaeology
Creating Freedom
Historical archaeologists continue to be fascinated with the African American past; Creating Freedom offers a valuable and innovative addition to this rapidly expanding literature. While the themes are familiar—African cultural precedents, foodways, religion and magic, adornment, and resistance to slavery and racism—the author's theoretical framework and research emphases make this work stand out. The sites Laurie A. Wilkie focuses on date from t…

Communicative bridges linking actors through time
Habermas' notions of communicative action and the lifeworld can be employed to understand how archaeological interpretations of agency can feed into contemporary political emancipatory dialogues. Clifton Plantation, a Bahamian Loyalist plantation that is currently threatened with development, is the center of this discussion. This article provides specific examples of how archaeological interpretations from Clifton have rendered past African life…

Black sharecroppers and white frat boys
The archaeology of the early twentieth century is truly the archaeology of ‘us’ and the social and economic conflicts that have shaped our recent history. Today’s society is not divorced from the experiences of the early twentieth century; racism and economic and social inequality are all issues that continue to shape today’s social discourse. While younger generations may draw upon the early twentieth century to provide fuel for today’s social l…
