The Archaeology of Black Tenant Sites in Maryland

Join Recreation and Parks Archaeologist Kelly Palich as she presents on the archaeology of Black tenant farming in Maryland. During this presentation, Palich will share findings from a variety of archaeological sites identified as Black tenant farms within the context of the Jim Crow Era (1870s-1965), and share how comparative studies of sites can be used to help interpret the tenant site at West Friendship (18HO304).
