Plus, get a sneak peek at what’s coming up in our next round of fieldwork happening right here in Charlestown over the next few months.
We’ll be sharing results from our recent excavations in Charlestown, uncovering underrepresented stories connected to the Battle of Bunker Hill and the burning of Charlestown - voices and perspectives often left out of traditional narratives.
A vacant urban lot with disturbed soil and excavation markings, surrounded by red brick buildings. Several orange traffic cones are placed around a shallow trench and curved path in the dirt, indicating an archaeological site. In the background, there are dumpsters, construction materials, and a fire escape on the back of a tall brick building. The sky is overcast.
Tonight! 🕰️ Join the City of Boston Archaeology Program at the Charlestown Branch of the Boston Public Library for a free presentation. (1/5)
