Mound Bayou
"Descendant Community Involvement in African-American Archaeology
in Mississippi:
Digging for the Dream in Mound Bayou," Amy L. Young, Department of Anthropology
and Sociology, The University of Southern Mississippi; Milburn J. Crowe, Mound
Bayou, Mississippi. Paper presented at the First Annual South Central Historical
Archeology Conference, Jackson, Mississippi.
Abstract: In March, 1998, a public excavation occurred in Mound Bayou, one of the first all-black incorporated towns in the US. At one time, Mound Bayou was a prosperous and influential community. Today, because of economic conditions, Mound Bayouans are struggling to survive and teach their youth about their important history and culture. The public dig which centered on a town lot behind the Bank of Mound Bayou and also contained their first City Hall, was aimed at involving young people in the discovery and preservation of their heritage. This paper reports on this "ground-breaking"archaeological project in the Mississippi Delta and discusses some steps for working with a descendant community.
