Plymouth Colony archaeology lecture presented

February 19, 2022

Want to know more about Plymouth colony’s colonial and indigenous communities in person?

At 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, at the Masonic Temple, 19 Academy St., you have the opportunity to learn new insights from recent archaeological explorations that focus on 17th-century Plymouth.

Archaeologist and Arlington resident Christa Beranek shares details of the first intact deposits from inside the palisaded settlement in downtown Plymouth — a house site dating between 1620 and 1660 and a Mashpee Wampanoag tribe occupation area. Discover what this work has revealed about the social and cultural interactions between the English and Wampanoag during that time.

Beranek is a project archaeologist for Umass/Boston’s Fiske Center for Archaeological Research.

This event is co-sponsored by the Arlington Historical Society and the Dallin Museum. No RSVP is necessary.

Cost: Members free, nonmembers $5.

The program will also be simulcast here >>

After it becomes available, the streaming link will be posted at www.dallin.org/events and on social-media platforms.
