Fieldwork in south-central Oklahoma examining buried soils and collecting samples to radiocarbon date. Helps us interpret where we are most likely to find buried archaeological sites. Sometimes it means getting out feet wet. 🤣

The OK Sec of Ed stated at a Republican event that the 1921 Tulsa Massacre was not about race. As a researcher on this multi-year project, this is just false. The events of 1921 were about rage and grievance aimed at a successful community who worked hard to obtain the American Dream!
