Remote Sensing, 3D Mapping Help Find Answers in Tulsa To try to identify victims of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, investigators are using GIS to make a 3D model of Oaklawn Cemetery’s Section 20.

Heard about some cool applications of 3D mapping and ArcGIS Survey123 at #SHA2025 -- here's another example of work an investigation team is conducting in Tulsa OK to identify burials:

Time to go through the pile of business cards I collected during the #SHA2025 conference last week and try to remember who was supposed to send what to whom.

My trip back from #SHA2025 might have been a struggle, but I did rather like the ceramics-heavy archaeology-adjacent animated blue Delft tile safety video on KLM:

I want to bump this again. Two former @wakeforest.bsky.social students attended #SHA2025, and each expressed immense gratitude for SBA as 1st time conference goers. This is the kind of mentorship and fellowship SBA provides. 🏺Join or Donate: www.societyofblackarchaeologists.com

Finally back in UK 24 hours later than planned after successful _fourth_ attempt to cross Atlantic on way home from #SHA2025.

Except I'm without a suitcase; again. That's _both_ directions it's gone AWOL in Amsterdam. At least this time it's on the correct side of the Atlantic; small mercies.

Returned to NY yesterday, after attending the #SHA2025 historical archaeology conference in NOLA. Today I drove to the Ashokan Reservoir for another meeting with community members. I started studying this place in 2012. It will forever be a part of me.

Had a great time in NOLA last week for the #SHA2025. I co-organized a wonderful session with @archaeomapper.bsky.social, and even got to sneak out and see some swamp (+sleepy gators) in a fanboat!

Getting home from excellent #SHA2025 is proving to be a challenge. Missed my Atlanta connection to Amsterdam; at one point was rebooked onto route with an 8-hour layover in Paris. Now convinced Delta to put me onto a London flight (and then train) rather than obsess about getting me to Birmingham.

#SHA2025 was a very nice conference- caught up with a lot of old friends, was adopted by some young'uns at the middle school dance so made some new friends, the Colorado session was amazeballs and looking forward to exploring an edited volume. Good times had by all.

Landscape, popular histories, and the racializatjon of Chinese in Evanston, Wyoming title and location screenshot

Last presentation at #SHA2025 is an undergraduate senior thesis (the next generation of archaeologists are already awesome). George is speaking on Racialization of Chinese people in Wyoming.

As #SHA2025 wraps up, I hope my posts demonstrated the wide variety of community-engaged projects that today’s historical archaeologists are engaged in. SHA2026 will be in Detroit, Michigan.

Last sessions of #SHA2025 are running now. I’m listening to Doug’s presentation on documenting and acknowledging historic Native American sites

Last in this session in a paper on Manhattan, NY, ecological landscape with the city itself as an artifact. Their focus is Seneca Village, which once stood where Central Park is now #SHA2025

A zooarchaeological perspective on the 1908 race riot in Springfield, Illinois title and location screenshot

Last day of #SHA2025 for me stats with a #zooarchaeology paper for a community that experienced a race riot. One find was a mink mandible that may have come from a fur shawl.

Special thank you to Guy Oreido Weston and Mary Weston for nominating me for the John L. Cotter Award.

Thank you all for your love and support over the years. #sha2025

Fun at #SHA2025. Starting the year with great colleagues and talking about #careers and #mentorship in #archaeology

Excellent news! I couldn’t be at #SHA2025 and would love to have heard this session.

At the #SHA2025 business meeting. Lots of student travel awards to recognize. My term on the board begins when the meeting ends.

Feeling deeply inspired (dare I even say hopeful?) after an extraordinary session. Seeing heart-centered archaeology resonate with people across so many places, contexts, and positionalities was wonderful. Thank you to all the amazing participants!
