DESCRIPTION:Historical archaeologists are uniquely positioned to explore hi
 dden histories—those events erased or otherwise obfuscated in the present—
 by facilitating a nuanced understanding of the past and its legacies in th
 e present. This presentation explores how a range of digital technologies 
 support archaeological reclamation\, an emerging approach that positions a
 rchaeological expertise at the service of communities and the public. Dr. 
 González-Tennant discusses several case studies from Florida and Texas to 
 provide concrete examples of this community-centered approach to historica
 l archaeology. These case studies illustrate the centrality of digital tec
 hnologies—e.g.\, GIS (geographic information systems)\, GPR (ground penetr
 ating radar)\, LiDAR (light detection and ranging)\, photogrammetry\, and 
 VR (virtual reality)—in revealing new historical truths that facilitate pu
 blic dialogue and engagement. By examining the intersections between techn
 ology\, community\, and historical memory\, González-Tennant seeks to cont
 ribute to ongoing conversations about the role of archaeology in promoting
  restorative justice and reconciliation.An Archaeological Encounters Lectu
 reEdward González-Tennant earned his PhD from the University of Florida fo
 r pioneering work applying digital and virtual archaeological methods to e
 xplore the history of Rosewood\, Florida. He is currently an assistant pro
 fessor of historical archaeology at the Texas State University\, where he 
 directs the newly established Texas State Computational and Digital Archae
 ology Lab (CDAL).Object LabsAt BGC\, we use an object-centered approach to
  advance the study of the decorative arts\, design history\, and material 
 culture. Join our student educators before select spring 2026 public event
 s to learn about some of the objects in BGC’s Study Collection. Each week 
 we will showcase three objects carefully selected from the collection\, wh
 ich includes more than 5\,000 objects in a variety of media. Drop in anyti
 me between 5 and 6pm\; the experience takes roughly 10 minutes.February 25

 ng opportunities for hands-on close examination of objects. Learn more abo
