In 1949, a lumber executive and city alderman in Charleston, South Carolina, named Alfred O. Halsey produced a visually unique map of the Charleston peninsula. The map highlights the fluctuations and changes of the urban landscape through time and traces the contours of historic events in the city. Although his depiction is compelling, tapping into a dialectical understanding of the city landscape, there are distinct cultural forgettings and silences in the map particularly in terms of the city’s long historical trajectory of racial inequality and systemic violence. The following discussion both unpacks Halsey’s dialectical vision of the peninsula, and indicate a space where archaeology can intervene in the gaps and silences in an act of memory-work.

城市辩证法，错误记忆和记忆工作：南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的哈尔西地图

1949年，南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的一名木材高管兼城市议员叫阿尔弗雷德·O·哈尔西（Alfred O. Halsey），制作了一张视觉上独特的查尔斯顿半岛地图。该地图突出了随时间变化的城市景观的变化和变化，并追踪了城市中历史事件的轮廓。尽管他的描写引人入胜，并运用辩证法理解了城市景观，但地图上仍然存在明显的文化遗忘和沉默，特别是在该城市悠久的种族不平等和系统暴力的历史轨迹上。以下讨论既解开了哈尔西对半岛的辩证视野，又指出了一个空间，考古学可以在此空间中进行间隙记忆，并保持沉默。
