2013 Archaeological Institutes Unearths Treasures

The 2013 Archaeology Institute sessions are winding down after four weeks of exciting finds. The focus of the digs this year was the area at the front of the circa 1730 farmhouse. The “finds” included a silver spoon, a copper spoon, a man’s ring (late 1800s), several 19th century coins (including one dated 1817) and some intriguing, early 18th century foundations that we plan to continue excavating next year. As always, the exploration answers some questions and raises many more. We already are excited about what we’ll be looking for next year! The sessions are led by Boston University PhD candidates Jenny Wildt and Sara Belkin, with help this year from Paulo . Students entering 9th grade through 1st year of college are eligible to participate in the Archaeology Institute. For more information, call 617-333-0924.
