The DC Historic Preservation Office initiated a unique public archaeology project when redevelopment threatened a Georgetown property once owned by Yarrow Mamout. Yarrow was literate in Arabic when enslaved in West Africa in 1752. Freed in 1797, he purchased the lot in 1800, and was reported to be buried in the garden upon his passing in 1823. Yarrow
stands out amid other formerly enslaved property owners only because his portrait was painted by two noted artists. Otherwise he left only traces of documentary evidence. With archaeology the best avenue for finding tangible evidence of his life story, HPO gathered volunteer resources to conduct a survey of his property, inspiring broad and diverse community
support. Learn about the survey’s results within the context of the varied historic Muslim experience in America.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
