An Archaeology of Colonial Identity

The book highlights a collaborative project, 'Farm Lives,' conducted from 1999 to 2002, which combined archaeological fieldwork, archive research, and oral history interviews. Funded by the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, it acknowledges the contributions of numerous individuals involved in various aspects, from excavation analysis to conducting interviews. The emphasis on collective efforts underscores the importance of community and historical context in understanding the project's findings and the lives it aims to document.
