Subject: archaeology of Chinese migrants' home villages
Dear colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting),
For the past five years, I have been part of a transnational, interdisciplinary team of researchers who have been using historical archaeology techniques to investigate the home villages of 19th century Chinese migrants.
I'm pleased to announce the public launch of the website for our first project - the Cangdong Village Project (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cangdong.stanford.edu_&d=DwIFAg&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=3sPOEDUSTJBtMbSES_6IyQ&m=92LxTlvsUp1U3UTfn6VK26-jLRAMmoU37xZIBesecac&s=AZ7vqckQU9gqHqnkcNOFNZpoCfeUgxdqXgl888f1J40&e=).
In 2016 and 2017, we conducted surface survey and subsurface testing of deposits from the late Qing (1875-1912) and Early Republic (1912-1927) periods. We are now analyzing the recovered artifacts and ecofacts to learn how village residents were affected by migration, and to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural backgrounds of Chinese who immigrated to the United States in the 19th century.
The highlight of the website is filmmaker Barre Fong's documentary, "Making Ties: The Cangdong Village Project." You can view a trailer here (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__vimeo.com_326082052&d=DwIFAg&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=3sPOEDUSTJBtMbSES_6IyQ&m=92LxTlvsUp1U3UTfn6VK26-jLRAMmoU37xZIBesecac&s=vikqibTzEQOS1nlRhFMsKKZbFZMgQFeoOVBfSNnGbEE&e=) and the full-length film is streaming on the project website (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__cangdong.stanford.edu_documentary-2Dfilm&d=DwIFAg&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=3sPOEDUSTJBtMbSES_6IyQ&m=92LxTlvsUp1U3UTfn6VK26-jLRAMmoU37xZIBesecac&s=Ck12J99sA7O5bEdtCf9m6baviUe-DSlLTBsvUdmxgY4&e=).
A short article about the Cangdong Village Project is available at: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__news.stanford.edu_2019_04_02_digging-2Dclues-2Dlives-2D19th-2Dcentury-2Dchinese-2Dmigrants_&d=DwIFAg&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=3sPOEDUSTJBtMbSES_6IyQ&m=92LxTlvsUp1U3UTfn6VK26-jLRAMmoU37xZIBesecac&s=aSWkn2OPj6tdLLcxJ5C5Jdo3ehaFBh5kai98CuQsQxw&e=.
We'll continue to develop the website in the weeks ahead, adding full Chinese translation to the website and to the documentary, an English language technical report of our investigation, and a teaching guide with lesson plans for classroom viewings of the documentary film.
Because this project is among the first archaeological studies of Chinese migrants' home villages, we are committed to full public access to our research results. To that end, all materials on the Cangdong Village Project website are released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license, so they can be freely downloaded, streamed, shared, and distributed.
Please help us spread the word about this resource to colleagues and students who may be interested.
My heartfelt thanks to the three partner organizations (Guangdong Qiaoxiang Cultural Research Center at Wuyi University, the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, and the Stanford Archaeology Center), project funders, cooperating organizations, team members, and especially the residents of Cangdong Village who so warmly welcomed our research team.
--Barb
