Exploring European Memory of the 1897 Lattimer Massacre with Predictive AI
Some historical archaeologists work in places colonized by countries whose language is other than that spoken by the researcher. Many of these projects have not consulted the relevant foreign-language literature, which could provide additional context for interpreting their findings. Predictive AI offers the unique advantage of rapidly accessing, translating, and synthesizing foreign language sources that may otherwise remain inaccessible due to …
Radical hope: Re-Contextualising Oral Histories From Deindustrialised Mining Communities
The anthracite coal mining landscape of northeastern Pennsylvania is in ruin, a by-product of two centuries of unchecked capitalism. Much of the land is stripped of its timber and surface mines lay abandoned. The industry began its decline after WWI and virtually collapsed during the post-WWII era. Waste piles of coal litter the landscape, and the streams and rivers are considered dead because of the minerals and high acid content of water draini…
Text Mining Oral Histories in Historical Archaeology
Anthracite memories: Semantic Tagging and Coal Mining Oral Histories
Oral histories are a critical source of information about lived experiences of past events. They have been analysed both for their form – linguistically as texts, performances, and expressive accounts – and their content for understanding historic events and personal experiences. Here we focus on sentiment analysis approaches frequently applied to big data research questions, but less often utilised by anthropologists working with oral histories.…
An Archaeology of Unchecked Capitalism: From the American Rust Belt to the Developing World
The racialization of immigrant labor and the labor strife in the coal and textile communities in northeastern Pennsylvania appears to be an isolated incident in history. Rather this history can serve as a touchstone, connecting the history of the exploited laborers to today’s labor in the global economy. By drawing parallels between the past and present – for example, the coal mines of the nineteenth-century northeastern Pennsylvania and the swea…

New Philadelphia: An Archaeology of Race in the Heartland
New Philadelphia, Illinois, was founded in 1836 by Frank McWorter, a Kentucky slave who purchased his own freedom and then acquired land on the prairie for establishing a new—and integrated—community. McWorter sold property to other freed slaves and to whites, and used the proceeds to buy his family out of slavery. The town population reached 160, but declined when the railroad bypassed it. By 1940 New Philadelphia had virtually disappeared from …
