“…It is probable that this graveyard holds the remains of most of the enslaved African individuals, enslaved African-American individuals and "free blacks" who died in Kingston between the years ca.1750 and ca.1878, and perhaps even earlier. This bracketed date partially overlaps with the widely publicized African Burial Ground in Lower Manhattan excavated in 1993 (Harrington 1993;La Roche and Blakey 1997).…”

“…For partnerships with government entities or well-established organizations, community organizing may not be a concern, but when partnering with small organizations or connecting groups of citizens, organizing seems to be a necessity. Famously at the African Burial Ground in New York City, the community formed around the commemoration (see LaRoche and Blakey, 1997), but in East Bradenton the dynamics were neither spontaneous nor driven by excavation results. Building up coalitions and organizations is part of a process that networks groups and propels conservation.…”

Looking for Angola, an interdisciplinary research project seeking material remains of an early nineteenth-century maroon community, has faced the challenges of locating archaeological remains in an urban environment. Public outreach and community involvement in Bradenton, Florida since 2004 has intersected with public archaeology as applied anthropology, service learning, and civic engagement. The role of the archaeologist in these types of endeavors deserves continuing attention, and community organizing as inspired by Saul Alinsky is offered as a possibility in light of one of the survey areas facing development that threatened the homes of its residents, historic structures, and the archaeological record. Community organizing is relevant for the continuing concerns in public archaeology for conservation, preservation, and collaborative commemoration of the past.

“…Construction costs increased (approximately $80 million for the NYC African Burial Ground [King, 2009]; $6 million for Sacramento [Praetzellis, 2009]; $60 million and counting for Port Angeles [Stapp & Longenecker, 2009]). Projects were marked by widespread, acrimonious public protests and negative publicity (LaRoche & Blakey, 1997;Mapes, 2009). African American and Native American communities with ancestral ties to the burials publicly expressed anger and a sense of disenfranchisement ( LaRoche & Blakey, 1997;Mapes, 2009;Statistical Research, Inc., 2009).…”

View Crossmark dataProblem, research strategy, and fi ndings: The fate of archaeological sites in cities, towns, and county jurisdictions are greatly affected by the decisions of local governments and planning departments, which usually operate with little formal guidance regarding archaeological site stewardship. What strategies do local governments use to effectively manage archaeological sites in their jurisdictions? Which ones work best? To address these questions, we carried out an exploratory study of mechanisms used by local government planners for archaeological resource protection in 24 states between 2008 and 2015, obtaining information from 69 local governments. We use questionnaires and interviews with local government staff, Tribal Historic Preservation Offi cers (THPOs), and State Historic Preservation Offi cers (SHPOs), identifying the range of practices employed. Within the jurisdictions we studied, the most elaborate programs a) have local ordinances protecting archaeology, on-staff archaeologists, and use special archaeological districts and zoning overlays, survey, and development guidelines linked to archaeological site probability models; b) maintain cost-saving partnerships with SHPOs, THPOs, universities, and local nonprofi t heritage organizations; c) or use a combination of these practices. Takeaway for practice: Virtually all local governments possess archaeological resources and an archaeological heritage worthy of protection. Local site preservation is most effective when it moves from project-based
