Last week I had the opportunity to visit Concord Quarters in Natchez, MS where @MSUanth is doing a field school. Some of the lovely finds from the project are bricks with fingerprints of the makers, an intact sponge ware cup, and a silver hair locket. 1/2

Armenians throughout the diaspora and in Armenia commemorate April 24th every year to remember their families who were killed, and the few who survived, by attending community commemorative events and attending church.
