  • Slavery and the Declaration

    Open AccessRichard NewmanCHAPTERThe Cambridge Companion to the…2026

    This chapter re-examines slavery and abolition in the writing and reception of the Declaration of Independence. Far from being marginal parts of the nation’s founding document, as previous generations of scholars asserted, both slavery and abolition proved to be essential to the making and meaning of the Declaration. Indeed, during and after the American Revolution, the Declaration testified to the nation’s high abolitionist ideals and the enduri…

  • We Wish to See This Stain Removed

    Richard NewmanARTICLEJournal of the Early Republic2025

    This essay examines free-state slavery in New York during the era of gradual abolitionism. While New York emancipation is the subject of many important studies, most scholars offer a progressive narrative of abolition in the Empire State that culminates in Black liberation by 1827. I argue that gradual emancipation in New York was more contingent and halting, with slavery’s shadow constantly hovering over Black freedom during the early 19th centu…

  • Investigation of a distinctive plant-based black paint on Bwa and Mossi polychrome wood masks from Burkina Faso

    Open AccessStephanie E Hornbeck, Richard NewmanARTICLESpotlight2023

    A distinctive, thickly applied, plant-based black paint is used for raised designs on painted wood masks made by multiple cultural groups in Africa’s Western Sudan region, where the color black represents age, health, wisdom and well-being. Black, red and white masks are particularly characteristic of the Burkina Faso region. For this study, black paint was sampled from six wood Burkinabè masks in the University of Iowa’s Stanley Museum of Art co…

  • ‘Lest We Forget’

    Richard NewmanARTICLEThe Historic Environment Policy &…2023

    Much conflict archaeology is undertaken by or with the involvement of community groups and individual volunteers. The strengths and weaknesses of this approach are considered in the light of three initiatives underway in East Yorkshire, which include both relicts of modern warfare and more historic conflicts. The paper argues for ethically informed and sensitive narratives to be derived from conflict archaeology projects of all periods and not ju…

  • Indoor Radon Levels in Homes and Schools in the Western Cape, South Africa—Results from a Schools Science Outreach Initiative and Corresponding Model Predictions

    Open AccessAbbey Matimba Maheso, Abbey Maheso et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    We describe a school science outreach initiative that introduced learners to applied nuclear physics research by means of a two-day workshop that involved learners and teachers from 5 schools in the Western Cape province of South Africa. During this workshop, the participants were introduced to the naturally occurring, inert, colorless, and tasteless radioactive gas radon ( 222 Rn). During the first day of the workshop, the participants were info…

  • The Story of Elaeagia Resin (Mopa-Mopa), So Far

    Open AccessRichard Newman, Ethan Kaplan et al.ARTICLEHeritage2023Citada por: 3Referências: 6

    The unusual resin from some species of Elaeagia, a genus now found in certain parts of Central America and South America, was probably first utilized by native peoples in Colombia more than a thousand years ago. It became a crucial part of often elaborately decorated objects made in the southwestern city of Pasto in the colonial period, and it has continued to be used there up to the present, in which it is at the core of a local craft tradition.…

  • Analyses of queen Hetepheres’ bracelets from her celebrated tomb in Giza reveals new information on silver, metallurgy and trade in Old Kingdom Egypt, c. 2600 BC

    Open AccessKarin Sowada, Richard Newman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2023Referências: 4

    Egypt has no domestic silver ore sources and silver is rarely found in the Egyptian archaeological record until the Middle Bronze Age. Bracelets found in the tomb of queen Hetepheres I, mother of pyramid builder king Khufu (date of reign c. 2589–2566 BC), form the largest and most famous collection of silver artefacts from early Egypt, but they have not been analysed for decades. We analysed samples from the collection in the Museum of Fine Arts,…

  • Ports and Shipping

    Richard Newman, Hanna SteyneCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Industrial…2022

    The theme of ports and shipping provides many overlapping and complementary interests for maritime and industrial archaeologists. This chapter aims to present the areas of shared theoretical interest and to introduce sites and features of particular relevance to industrial archaeological research. It examines terrestrial infrastructure, ships, and shipwrecks as industrial archaeological sites within a global context, primarily focused on the 17th…

  • From field to suburb

    Richard NewmanARTICLEArchaeological Journal2020Referências: 20

    At the beginning of the thirteenth century a planted development was established outside the gates of the Augustinian Priory at Barnwell, Cambridge. Although dislocated from the urban core by a kilometre of open fields, the new settlement nevertheless expanded rapidly; by the close of the thirteenth century, it housed almost one-sixth of the town’s overall population and had attained the legal status of a suburb. Utilising a combination of archae…

  • A Re-evaluation of ‘Palissy’ Ceramics at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

    This paper reviews eleven ceramic objects in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) that have been attributed variously over the past 150 years to the French ceramicist Bernard Palissy (1510-1590), his studio, workshop, school, followers, circle of, or imitators.

    Richard NewmanCHAPTERColonial Epoch in Africa2018

    The African Orthodox Church (AOC) is one of several links between black separatism in America and independence movements in Africa which remain largely unexamined. The church originated in the United States as an aspect of the Black Renaissance of the 1920s. The AOC spread to Africa where it played a part in the emergence of independent churches, the rise of cultural and political nationalism, and the interrelationships between these movements. T…

  • The abolitionist renaissance and the coming of the Civil War

    Richard Newman, Richard S NewmanCHAPTERAbolitionism2018

    Although abolitionists never enjoyed widespread popularity in the United States, they found that northerners were more interested in their critiques of slavery during the 1850s. “The abolitionist renaissance and the coming of the Civil War” explains how the passage of a stronger fugitive slave law, which turned white citizens into would-be slave catchers, raised new questions about the slave power and allowed abolitionist arguments to resonate mo…

  • The rise of black abolitionism and global antislavery struggles

    Richard Newman, Richard S NewmanCHAPTERAbolitionism2018

    As a new century loomed, black activists pushed abolition forward across the Atlantic world. The greatest example came in Saint-Domingue, where a slave rebellion in the 1790s compelled the French government to issue a broad emancipation decree. “The rise of black abolitionism and global antislavery struggles” explains how a more assertive brand of abolitionism also developed in the United States, as free black communities rebuked American statesm…
