From the website description: "This blog chronicles exploration and archaeological survey in the Great Dismal Swamp as we work to uncover the hidden landscape of maroons who lived in the Swamp from the early colonial period until the start of the US Civil War. We’re using fancy new technologies and old fashioned on-the-ground exploration to look for answers to questions about where maroons lived and how they made their lives in the forbidding Swamp environment. It’s a remarkable story of resistance and resilience but there is still much we don’t know."
