History & Hops: Unearthing Early American Lives
Location
About
Grab a drink and join Barry Dale, CRSP Principal Investigator, for a relaxed and engaging evening exploring how archaeology brings the past to life.
Centered on the excavation of a Westchester County estate owned by a surgeon who once served on George Washington's staff, this talk shifts the focus beyond the battlefield to the rhythms of everyday life in the early United States. Through fieldwork stories and behind-the-scenes insights, Barry will reveal how archaeologists piece together the experiences of a physician navigating a new nation.
You’ll also get a look at how contract archaeology works — from planning and excavation to interpreting discoveries — and what it takes to uncover and understand sites like this one.
This fun, interactive program is free to attend. Food and drink are not included, but are available for individual purchase at the venue.
