Abstract
New heritage refers to the intersection of new media technologies and traditional heritage studies. This includes the use of digital technologies to virtually reconstruct archaeological objects and contexts. This article presents readers with an overview of these approaches through two case studies drawn from African American archaeology. The first case study explores the reconstruction of Kingsley Plantation, near Jacksonville, Florida. This study uses SketchUp and Google Earth to create and share the site. The second case study examines a similar project in Rosewood, Florida, that combines a wider range of data, while exploring a mixed methods approach to sharing the virtual reconstruction. The authors also examine the ways such work intersects with historical archaeological studies of African American identity and landscape.
