African Burial Ground National Monument
History & Culture
 

Howard University, working with noted scholars and researchers throughout the United States, conducted intense research and analysis into the history, bioanthropology and archaeology of the African Burial Ground site. GSA and Howard University are pleased to provide electronic copies of all three component reports – the African Burial Ground Final History Report, the African Burial Ground Final Skeletal Biology Report, and the African Burial Ground Final Archaeology Report. The reports present the results of three separate but complementary avenues of research and analysis—historical, bioanthropological, and archaeological.

Printed versions of the report are available and can be accessed by visiting the:
