ARCHAEOLOGY FOR GENEALOGISTS, Presenter: Tonya Largy, Archaeologist. Tuesday, March 27, 1:00pm, COA. No charge but reservations requested. Historical archaeologists work from existing documents but their excavations are subjecting the written information to “ground truth”. In Archaeology, this means that the data recovered either supports or challenges what was written about past persons and events. Ceramics and other types of artifacts, as well as archaeobotany, archaeofaunal analysis, radiocarbon dating, ground penetrating radar and other scientific techniques are used to make conclusions about cultural life at a particular place during a particular time. Sometimes that recovered data raises new questions! Reserve now for this interesting presentation with Wayland resident, Tonya Largy.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER: Tonya Largy is an archaeologist with extensive experience analyzing both botanical and man-made materials from archaeological sites throughout New England and the U.S. Currently an independent consultant, Tonya previously worked at Harvard University’s Peabody Museum and is a past president of the Massachusetts Archaeological Society.
