Participation in traditional narrative performances benefited archaeologists working on the relocation of the Albert J. Phillips Memorial Cemetery, a historical African-American cemetery in Galveston County, Texas. In addition to indicating the location of various site features, the verbal accounts provided information about site formation processes and community events, past and present, that had an effect on these processes. The incorporation of folklore methodology produced a cooperative relationship with community members, helped to diffuse a potentially volatile situation, and united the archaeologists and the community in the common goals of cooperation, knowledge, and understanding
