ABSTRACT This article presents an ongoing project to revitalize an Afro-Ecuadorian cemetery called the “Garden of Memory, Martina Carrillo,” dating from the eighteenth through twentieth centuries, and located in the community of La Concepción, in the Chota-Mira Valley of northern Ecuador. Throughout the design of a proposal for restoration of the cemetery the community of African descendants, including the National Coordinator of Black Women-Carchi, called CONAMUNE-Carchi, and a group of Ecuadorian archaeologists, employed a collaborative approach to the history and restoration of this sacred place. The archaeological project contributes to the recognition of local histories, development of an intercultural investigation, a reflexive understanding of the past and material culture of local community members, and commemoration of their African diaspora ancestors. This project’s methodology focused on achieving a form of historical reparations for the African descendants who were impacted by colonial slavery and racism in Ecuador.

ABSTRACT This article analyzes the home site of Louisa McWorter, an African-American widow and landowner who resided in the town of New Philadelphia, Illinois in the mid-nineteenth century. Archaeological and historical evidence demonstrates that McWorter achieved economic success in agriculture, which enabled her to support a large family, grow her landholdings, and fully participate in the local market economy. Excavations at the McWorter home site yielded an assemblage that closely resembles the assemblages of European-American households at New Philadelphia while contrasting with patterns of consumption observed at African-American sites in more urban areas. These comparisons suggest that the consumption choices of McWorter and her European-American neighbors were shaped by similar economic and social stresses that differed from those faced by African Americans in larger cities. This study demonstrates that the life experiences and consumption constraints of demographically similar but geographically disparate groups should not be assumed to be equivalent.

ABSTRACT Archaeological inquiry into the landscapes produced by free Black Americans has greatly contributed to understandings of how spatial use continued to reflect resistance to racial subjugation during the Reconstruction and Jim Crow eras. In this article, I discuss the community of Antioch Colony, a freedmen’s community located in central Texas, to consider the remaking of Black community in the rural countryside between the years of 1870 and 1954. Using oral histories, historic aerial photography, and historic maps, I examine the ways residents of Antioch Colony adapted their landscape over time to create an empowering environment suitable for their needs in the post-bellum period. Through my analysis, I find that the landscape created reinforced a sense of belonging by allowing people to freely congregate and move through space.

ABSTRACT During the antebellum period, incipient ceramic industries scattered across South Carolina’s agricultural landscape. In the Edgefield district, a number of family-owned kilns contracted enslaved laborers from nearby plantations to mass-produce new stoneware forms for sale throughout the Southeast. Drawing from archival and archaeological findings from the Pottersville site, this article examines these regional potteries at various scales, moving from a panoramic exploration of the manufacturing landscape to microscopic fluctuations in ceramic style. Combining morphometric ceramic analyses with architectural, ecological, and contextual data, I illustrate the how industry and artistry convened in the ordinary aesthetics of African-American life. At various frequencies, material engagements with stoneware created a shifting spectrum of embodied experiences. The ubiquity of stoneware became a plastic medium for potters and their wares to express a kaleidoscope of dissonant feelings, desires, and aspirations in the midst of racial subjugation.

ABSTRACT This article provides an analysis of refined earthenwares uncovered in the Pottersville kiln site and associated work areas in Edgefield, SC, during excavations in 2011 and 2013. Past ceramic studies have largely focused on the significance of alkaline-glazed stoneware produced in the Edgefield Pottery District. Refined earthenwares in the Pottersville work areas represented a small percentage of the total ceramic assemblage. Yet, they prompt a variety of social, political, and economic questions. What does the presence of these European wares across work areas indicate about social landscapes and daily experiences? Given the pottery owner’s initial desire to manufacture refined earthenware, and his unionist (American protectionist) political allegiances, how do such imported goods relate to national identity issues in the decades before the Civil War? Lastly, data from makers’ marks helps to situate Pottersville within broader market networks and political currents during a period of intensifying global realignments.

ABSTRACT Large alkaline-glazed stoneware vessels from the Edgefield District of South Carolina have long been studied by ceramic historians and collectors. Manufactured by enslaved laborers in the antebellum period, these vessels were sold throughout the South. Based on extant vessels from collections, scholars have proposed that a lighter green glaze, often called celadon, was manufactured earlier than a darker green-brown glaze. This assertion has not been tested systematically using archaeological evidence. Understanding how glaze color changes over time at one kiln site allows us to better understand antebellum aesthetic and economic systems. Establishing that there is change over time is the first step toward asking why this may be the case. Was it purely an aesthetic choice, an economic one, or due to experimentation with glazes by enslaved laborers? Excavations in 2011 and 2013 at the Pottersville site (38ED11) uncovered thousands of alkaline-glazed stoneware sherds that can illuminate this topic.

ABSTRACT The innovation and development of alkaline-glazed stoneware pottery in America was introduced by potteries operated by the Scots-Irish Landrum family in the Edgefield, South Carolina area early in the nineteenth century. The potteries employed enslaved African-American laborers and later free African-Americans. Edgefield potteries present fascinating research questions for understanding technological innovations and investigating the impacts of African-American, European-American, and Asian manufacturing traditions and knowledge on a rural industry and its cultural landscape. Part 1 of this thematic collection of studies on these subjects was published in Vol. 6, No. 2 of this Journal. This article provides a brief introduction to four articles presented here in Part 2 of this thematic collection.

ABSTRACT Black internationalism is a framework used to analyze the oppression faced by people of African descent and their collaborative efforts globally, sometimes alongside other people of color, to dismantle white supremacy. Black internationalism, however, is not without its shortcomings, privileging certain intellectuals, locations, and institutions. This article seeks to reconfigure the contours of Black internationalism by focusing on the political activism of English as Foreign Language teachers of African descent in South Korea. I posit that these millennials’ activism, including Black History Month festivals and #BlackLivesMatterKorea, is a result of their racialized socialization. I also emphasize the role of the Facebook group Brothas and Sistas in South Korea (B.S.S.K.) in facilitating the practice of Black internationalism. Additionally, I show how Black American identity comes into sharp relief when refracted through the eyes of Koreans and continental Africans living in South Korea. These encounters, especially with non-U.S. racialized subjects, highlight and destabilize African-American exceptionalism.

ABSTRACT This article focuses on a number of important events in the ongoing legacies of David (Dave) Drake, an African-American potter who lived and worked in Edgefield, South Carolina. Dave’s creativity was expressed in writing poetry and as a conceptual artist. His inspirations have been recognized by efforts today in advancing literacy and improving education. This study examines an array of interactive museum programs, educational initiatives, films, theater and dance productions, poetry readings, and publications for young and old readers alike that have conveyed Dave’s accomplishments to broad audiences and students. Archaeological engagements, scholarly publications, and Dave’s induction into the South Carolina Hall of Fame are also considered. His legacies are discussed in their historical contexts and in regard to their impacts on facets of our contemporary society and culture. From limited recognition decades ago to broad acclaim today, Edgefield alkaline-glazed stoneware is now seen as the genesis of an artisan tradition of Southern stoneware.
