The University of Tennessee Press, Knoxville. This work by University of Georgia landscape architect, Richard Westmacott, presents the results of several years of study of African-American Gardens and Yards primarily in piedmont Georgia and Alabama. It is of special interest to archeologists for its many plans of gardens, yards and outbuildings, and for its accompanying descriptions of the use of space by African Americans from the gardeners themselves. It is really an eye-opening piece of research and deserves to be on the bookshelf of any archaeologist with an interest in African-American archeology. It is also a well-spring of comparative data for studies of rural white occupations, urban African-American sites, and low country plantation studies. Get it.  1Westmacott: Thumbnail Sketch - African-American Gardens and Yards in the RuraPublished by ScholarWorks@UMass Amherst, 1994
