In the summer of 2007, Hofstra University archaeology students, led by Professors Christopher Matthews and Jenna Coplin, dig a site at historic Lloyd Manor on the North Shore of Long Island, New York. Lloyd Manor, built pre-revolution, was the residence of Jupiter Hammon, the first published African American. Jupiter Hammon was one of ten slaves the Lloyd Family owned. The archaeologists are digging what they believe to be the slave quarters to the side of the house. Their goal is to give a voice to the other slaves that lived during Jupiter's time and reveal some of the origins of African American culture.

  • Good work, that was smart and well shot and a topic that I think not a lot of people know about.

  • Wow, Leone postcolonial archaeology on TV, I am impressed. I hope our producers dig the postprocessual excavation...

    Was there any interviews with living associated communities?
