This article explores the making of identity for two sets of human skeletal remains, labeled 1928 Hurricane Victims 1 and 2 Belle Glade. The remains are so poorly preserved that traditional bioarchaeological analysis to explore their perimortem identity is not possible. However, an exploration of their postmortem identity allows us to examine the relationship between landscape, soil, memory, and bodies in bioarchaeology. This article challenges us to consider how bioarchaeology “makes” identity. It does so against the backdrop of one of the worst natural history disasters in United States history, the 1928 Lake Okeechobee Hurricane in Belle Glade, Florida. The loss of some 2,000 to 3,000 individuals in one night, primarily Black migrant farm laborers, is little remembered in national history, but it profoundly shaped the region, and contributes to an ongoing creation of a category of skeletal remains found in the area even today and labeled hurricane victims.

风化遗迹：生物考古学、身份和景观

本文探讨了两组人类骨骼遗骸的身份制作，分别标记为 1928 年飓风受害者 1 号和 2 号贝尔格莱德 (Belle Glade)。这些遗骸保存得如此之差，以至于无法通过传统的生物考古学分析来探索其临死时的身份。然而，对它们死后身份的探索使我们能够在生物考古学中检验景观、土壤、记忆和身体之间的关系。这篇文章要求我们思考生物考古学如何“创造”身份。这是在美国历史上最严重的自然历史灾难之一——1928 年佛罗里达州贝尔格莱德发生的奥基乔比湖飓风的背景下进行的。一夜之间失去约 2,000 至 3,000 人，其中主要是黑人移民农场劳工，在国家历史上鲜为人知，但它深刻地塑造了该地区，并促成了至今仍在该地区发现的一类骨骼遗骸的不断产生并标记飓风受害者。
