Résumé en anglais

Site 3DR476 was once the location of an African American tenant farmer house on the Drew County side of the Valley Plantation in southeast Arkansas. Subsurface excavations were conducted at the former location of the house in May of 2022 and served as the first major investigation of an exclusively postbellum site on the plantation. The investigations are part of a larger Valley Plantation project intended to better understand Black lifeways on the plantation as well as to engage with the local African American community and their history.
