Any of you interested in African American archeaology might want to know
about a book coming out this December from Smithsonsian Institute Press:
Bones in the Basement: Post Mortem Racism in Nineteenth Century Medical
Training.  It's a comprehensive volume about the Medical College of
Georgia project conducted by researchers at Georgia State University and
edited by Robert L. Blakely and Judith M. Harrington (me!).  It includes
not only archaeology, but ethnography, experimental anatomy, forensic
anthropology, history, and other good stuff.  Check it out at the SHA
meeting in January in Atlanta.  We also have a symposium devoted to the
subject at that meeting.
 
(please excuse the commercial aspect of this message, but I couldn't
resist!)
