This archaeological research utilizes intersectionality and praxis as analytic tools to uncover reproductive oppression in the past and embolden reproductive justice in the present. At the nineteenth-century Hollywood Plantation in southeastern Arkansas, the materiality of the past—census records, medicine bottles, toys, and grave markers—provides a lens onto the deep history of reproductive oppression and the ways people responded to it. By situating individuals and artifacts at the intersections, I interpret various artifacts from differing positionalities, focusing and refocusing the lens on all of the women who lived and worked in the house to understand the ways reproduction shaped their lives over time and to draw connections between the control over Black women’s bodies exercised by slaveholders and the contemporary trend to limit women’s control of their reproductive health.

Al situar individuos y artefactos en la intersecciones, interpreto varios artefactos desde diferentes posicionalidades, enfocando y reenfocando los lentes sobre todas las mujeres que vivieron y trabajaron en la casa para entender las formas como la reproducción dio forma a sus vidas a lo largo del tiempo y establecer conexiones entre el control sobre los cuerpos de mujeres negras ejercido por propietarios de esclavos y la tendencia contemporánea a limitar el control de las mujeres sobre su salud reproductiva.

The spatial arrangement of the camp, which consists of two officers’ compounds and three enlisted men’s compounds, was structured according to the central principles of surveillance, discipline, and control. The institution provided the inmates’ food, clothing, and possessions. From mess-hall menus to a chapel, archaeological research reveals intimate information about the men and the ways they worked together to maintain their cultural identities and regain some of their individuality.

A critical piece of the cultural significance is continuity in the process of using the land. This essay provides an overview of how collaboration among historic preservationists, archaeologists, biologists, federal and state agencies, consultants, and plantation managers resulted in new methods of permitting work in historic tidal rice fields and new understandings of rice fields as significant historic properties.

The scope especially pertains to the Southeastern United States, but contributions by scholars working in other regions are welcome so as to increase the theoretical and methodological scope and cross-disciplinary nature of our work.
