Abstract
The capitalist process seeks to maximize the accumulation of capital by creating, maintaining, and reinventing divisions and distance. The result is the devaluing of people to a state whereby they are expendable and the violence they experience can be justified, perpetuated, and ignored. Space is a crucial component of this process, allowing for the destruction and creation of new configurations of capital circulation that foster a landscape of depreciation and exploitation. The landscapes of Baltimore throughout time show the contrast between affluence and poverty and the degree to which the capitalist process shapes lives and space in and around the city and devalues them. Drawing from Baltimore, this article argues that archaeology can play a role in detailing the history of capitalism in space and can work towards countering its effects.
