Leone, Mark

Bio

Mark P. Leone, Archaeology in Annapolis.

Mark Leone is interested in critical theory as it applies to archaeology and, particularly, to historical archaeology. He has directed Archaeology in Annapolis since 1981. This project focuses on the historical archaeology of Annapolis and Maryland's Eastern Shore and features the use of critical theory. Leone is committed to public interpretation of archaeology and welcomes graduate students who are interested in learning about the relationship between public interpretation and the politics of archaeology.

Archaeology in Annapolis has run consistently since 1981 in Annapolis, at Wye House, where Frederick Douglass was enslaved, at William Paca’s Wye Hall on Wye Island, and on “The Hill,” an African American community in Easton, Maryland.

Site reports with catalogs on nearly 40 excavations can be found on the University of Maryland’s Digital Archive, known as DRUM. A physical component of the collection is housed in the National Trust room of Hornbake Library on the University of Maryland campus.

Some of the most significant sites excavated by the project include:

  1. 18AP01: The William Paca House and Garden
