parse recordsimpede calculations of slave deaths prior to this period; however, estimates are in the hun-dreds of thousands (Handler 1999, 13)
Hundreds of thousands?! This is crazy, and for such a small island.

‘some slaves are interred in the parish churchyard, others in theirusual burying places on the estates’
It baffles me how many ways colonialists were able to segregate Black communities. Not just throughout their life, but beyond. This also reminds me of the mass-burial of Indigenous children in Canada's history.

These issues have proven extremely complex, context-specific and demand advanced understandings of ever-changingdigital technology coupled with strong collaborations with informedcommunities.
The industry of archaeological regulations fascinates me. How do legal structures outline the rights of the dead, and how do they protect the nature of their history?

the public nature of cemeteries haslong been a benefit. L
This has to be one of the few industries where professionals can study subjects through publicly available means.

An ethical burden is the weight an archaeologist must give to whetherany given thing is ethically appropriate, or inappropriate. As an example, theethical burden of a trowel is typically low for archaeologists; it is regularly anecessary tool to be used in the process of excavation. However, if the use ofthe trowel in an excavation would disenfranchise indigenous peoples throughunwanted exhumations of human remains, the ethical burden of the trowelbecomes much greater.
I find it very interesting to see how the ethical tolls shift between different sites due to historical implications. I believe it would be very easy for modern digital archaeologists to disregard these facets that could potentially be influenced by personal belief. It is integral that the protections of indigenous people are upheld in all ways, but especially in matters of archaeology.

This does not mean that digital archaeologists should operate without ethicaloversight though! Digital archaeology has expanded into mainstream archaeol-ogy, and the ethics of practice of that expansion have just not been kept up withby the professional organizations in their documentation (Dennis 2020)
If digital archaeology has not been given a code of ethics "yet," it risks possible misuse. While our world is constantly evolving around digital technology, the development of regulations and codes of ethics for all sciences should be pithy. Without the quick responses of industries to outline codes of ethics, it risks the mistreatment of archaeological information.

these ethics are not static. As the discipline of archaeology haschanged, so have the accepted ethical practices, as archaeologists have dealtwith profound changes in the context of archaeology and profound changes inethical concerns (Wylie 1996)
As archaeological ethics have shifted, I wonder how they have shifted in alignment with our history and political backdrops. Have the ethics shifted with the changes in authority? And have these changes impacted the way that societies interact with ethics as a whole? While archaeology does not directly correspond with political/societal science, they do intersect in the ways of behavioural shifts in nations. The more progressive a society.. the stronger ethical grounds they consider. I would image that archaeological ethics have progressed greatly since the 20th century.

y details are in the navigation bar above, but you can also find me in PA 406 (my office) or PA 435-439 (the XLab) or in the library coffee shop, especially on Wednesday mornings.
I think it's really great that you've invited students to meet you in person in a casual setting. Allows for a better discussion in a calmer environment.
