Abstract
Cet article se penche sur la manire dont des terres pourraient servir d'archives une communaut historique disparue de colons noirs du comt de Grey, en Ontario.L'article considre la pnurie de ressources au sujet de cette communaut (au-del des recensements qui notaient la race comme catgorie), ainsi que les efforts passs et prsents pour nier son existence.En s'inspirant de la pense de Jonathan Silin au sujet de l'enseignant comme archiviste accidentel , 1 cet article explore comment les terres le long du chemin Old Durham, o ces colons ont vcu, pourraient tre considres comme des archives accidentelles .Trois preuves de l'tablissement sont examines : des pommiers sauvages, une fondation de pierre et des tessons de faence provenant d'un tas d'ordures de cuisine.Avec le changement des saisons, les terres cachent et rvlent, suggrant la fois la prsence absente littrale et mtaphorique de cette communaut historique.En terminant, cet article examine la meilleure faon d'avoir accs ces archives.This article considers how the land might be utilized as an archive of a "disappeared" historic community of black settlers in Grey County, Ontario.The paucity of resources about this community (beyond the censuses that marked race as a category), as well as past and current efforts to deny its existence, are considered.Drawing on Jonathan Silin's notion of teacher as "accidental archivist," 1 the article explores how the land along the Old Durham Road, where these settlers lived, might be considered an "accidental archive."Three "evidences" of the settlement are taken up: wild apple trees, a stone foundation, and crockery shards from a kitchen midden.Through seasonal changes, the land both hides and reveals, suggesting both the literal and the metaphoric "absent presence" of this historic community.In closing, the article explores how this archive might best be accessed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
