The Lone Rock Field School is organized by and under the direction of Dr. Camille Westmont, postdoctoral fellow of historical archaeology at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. The field school is supported by the University’s Center for Southern Studies and its Roberson Project on Slavery, Race, and Reconciliation. Additional support comes from the Legacies of American Slavery Project, a joint initiative of seven American colleges in partnership with the Council of Independent Colleges in Washington, D.C., and the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition, which is part of the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale University. The Legacies Project is supported by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with supplemental funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This research was supported by a SPARC Award. The SPARC Program is based at CAST at the University of Arkansas, and is funded by a generous grant from the National Science Foundation (Award #1321443 and #1519660). The Lone Rock Stockade Archaeological Project has received additional financial support from the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area, the University of the South’s Faculty Research Grant program, and the Register of Professional Archaeologists.
