“…These observations resonate with the work of archaeologists who have examined how heritage sites and archaeological practices intertwine to uphold white supremacy in other settings (Lewis, 2015; Paynter, 2001; Reid, 2021; Shackel, 2001), studies which themselves are situated in broader conversations about the production of historical knowledge (Trouillot, 1995).
