Racism is defined as a modern system of inequity emergent in Atlantic slavery in which "Whiteness" is born and embedded. This essay describes its transformation. The operation of racist Whiteness in current archaeology and related anthropological practices is demonstrated in the denigration and exclusion of Black voices and the denial of racism and its diverse appropriations afforded the White authorial voice. The story of New York's African Burial Ground offers a case in point
