Charlestown Archaeology
In celebration of Massachusetts
Archaeology Month, Boston City Archaeologist, Joe Bagley, presents an illustrated talk on thousands of years of the human history discovered through professional archaeological excavations in Charlestown. The presentation will focus on the sites discovered at the Bunker Hill Monument, and Bunker Hill Community College, and the Central Artery Project. Several Native American sites, a Native American village, John Winthrop’s 1629 Great House, and numerous important structures burned in the Battle of Bunker Hill will all be
discussed.
Mr. Bagley will reveal the artifacts
discovered in Charlestown that were left by the American Indians, British, the Patriots and all the original Townies. He will present his findings on Tuesday October 16, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. in the Bunker Hill Museum. Charlestown Historical Society and The Friends of City Square Park and the City of Boston are sponsoring this event.
