Archaeology at God's Little Acre, in Newport, RI

God’s Little Acre is one of the oldest United States cemeteries for Africans and African Americans. Marko, Plekhov, and Rothenberg have created an interactive map and database of the cemetery for use by both researchers and tourists.

The work being done at God's Little Acre in Newport, Rhode Island, by the Joukowsky Institute's Dan Plekhov, Miriam Rothenberg, and Alex Marko is profiled in Brown University's "Impact" magazine this month.
