Archaeology in Queens County!
On December
3. 2009, archaeologist Darryl Kelman will present the findings
of two archaeological digs conducted by the Mersey Heritage Society
this past July.
The first
took place at the West Tavern on Main Street in Liverpool. The
house was constructed in the very early days of Liverpool and
is mentioned many times in Perkin’s Diary as a meeting place
for the Township Proprietors.
The second
dig was held at Wobamkek Beach in Southwest Port Mouton to investigate
a mysterious site surveyed by the Mersey Heritage Society in 2005.
Archaeologists and Society members probed the soil and excavating
test pits to look for atrifacts and other information that would
help to date the site.
Join us
to see what was found and how it adds to our understanding of
these historical sites. This illustrated talk will take place
at 7pm on December 3, 2009 at the former Gorham School on Payzant
Street in Liverpool It is open to the public and admission is
free.
