Article Title：Hidden in view: African spiritual spaces in North American landscapes

Abstract：
How did enslaved African people in North America use material culture to create and signal their own identity? In a paper that has much significance for many other periods and places, the authors draw on archaeological and documentary evidence to show how African spiritual spaces were created in houses and gardens in the form of coded landscapes that were often hidden-though in view.
