Traditional African diaspora archaeology has predominantly focused on terrestrial sites, exploring plantations, marronage, post-emancipation communities, and urban landscapes. However, recent advancements in maritime archaeology, coupled with the emergence of a new generation of researchers and groundbreaking discoveries, have significantly expanded the field’s scope. This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the history and current state of African diaspora maritime archaeology, while also outlining future research directions. Drawing on my personal experiences excavating the Clotilda and ongoing efforts to locate the Black Star Line, I will highlight the significance of underwater archaeology in reconstructing the complex narratives of the African diaspora.
