Abstract

Investigation into the lifeways of freedman George White suggest a successful farmer who purchased and kept approximately 600 acres, emancipated his family and built a safe community for them. Documentary research revealed small fragments about the female members of his family. Taking into consideration the multiple layers of social relationships and social constructions over time, how can archaeologists query the material traces of freed Black women? This paper considers how intersectionality and the resultant matrix of domination push for research that does not “yield to closure,” but asks acute questions concerning freed women and their experiences within developing power structures.

看不见但不被遗忘：南北战争前后肯塔基州麦迪逊县被释放的黑人妇女

对自由人乔治·怀特生活方式的调查表明，一位成功的农民购买并保留了大约600英亩的土地，解放了他的家庭，并为他们建立了一个安全的社区。纪录片研究揭示了他家庭中女性成员的一些小片段。考虑到随着时间的推移，社会关系和社会结构的多层性，考古学家如何查询被释放的黑人女性的物质痕迹？本文考虑了交叉性和由此产生的统治矩阵如何推动研究，而不是“屈服于封闭”，而是提出了关于自由女性及其在发展中的权力结构中的经历的尖锐问题。

期刊介绍： Archaeologies: Journal of the World Archaeological Congress offers a venue for debates and topical issues, through peer-reviewed articles, reports and reviews. It emphasizes contributions that seek to recenter (or decenter) archaeology, and that challenge local and global power geometries. Areas of interest include ethics and archaeology; public archaeology; legacies of colonialism and nationalism within the discipline; the interplay of local and global archaeological traditions; theory and archaeology; the discipline’s involvement in projects of memory, identity, and restitution; and rights and ethics relating to cultural property, issues of acquisition, custodianship, conservation, and display. Recognizing the importance of non-Western epistemologies and intellectual traditions, the journal publishes some material in nonstandard format, including dialogues; annotated photographic essays; transcripts of public events; and statements from elders, custodians, descent groups and individuals.
