Unearthing History: Part III Archaeological Dig Series

Date: Sun, 28 Feb 2010

Jenna Coplin, anthropology professor at Hofstra University, will discus the third archaeological excavation at Joseph Lloyd Manor, on Long Island's North Shore. In-depth research and the cultural artifacts found on this site have led the archaeology team to believe that the area may have at one time held a slave quarters structure. This is one of the first archaeological studies of slave quarters in New York. One of the leaders of this excavation, Coplin will present a lecture on their findings and the historical and cultural implications involved with this subject matter.

Free with admission to Kingsland.
