Laboratory analysis and public history studies continued at the Rice University Archaeological Learning Laboratory through May. The class of 12 Rice students worked on a team also comprised of Dr. Molly Morgan (Rice archaeologist), Dr. Catherine Jalbert and Reece Black (Texas Historical Commission archaeologists), and Grace McWeeney and Cheryl McBeth (community interns). Following a previous season of work in 2020, our research focus continues to be on the 19th century experiences of captive laborers through the excavation of contexts thought to have been residences of enslaved people, or perhaps in later contexts to the laborers brought to work at the site through the convict leasing system. Other important aspects of our project include community-based archaeology, museums studies, and public dissemination of research results in cultural heritage contexts.141 ppengThis work is protected by copyright and is made available here for research and educational purposes.
