This forum builds on the discussion stimulated during an online salon in which the authors participated on June 25, 2020, entitled “Archaeology in the Time of Black Lives Matter,” and which was cosponsored by the Society of Black Archaeologists (SBA), the North American Theoretical Archaeology Group (TAG), and the Columbia Center for Archaeology. The online salon reflected on the social unrest that gripped the United States in the spring of 2020, gauged the history and conditions leading up to it, and considered its rippling throughout the disciplines of archaeology and heritage preservation. Within the forum, the authors go beyond reporting the generative conversation that took place in June by presenting a road map for an antiracist archaeology in which antiblackness is dismantled.

该论坛基于在2020年6月25日作者参加的在线沙龙中引发的讨论，主题是“黑人生命时代的考古学”，由北方黑人考古学家协会（SBA）共同发起美国理论考古学小组（TAG）和哥伦比亚考古学中心。这家在线沙龙反映了2020年春季席卷美国的社会动荡，评估了导致其动荡的历史和条件，并考虑了其在考古学和遗产保护的各个学科中所起的波澜。在论坛中，作者不仅报告了6月份发生的代言性对话，还提出了消除种族歧视的反种族主义考古学路线图。
