91st Annual Meeting
From Founders to Farmers:
An Archaeologist's View of 19th Century Homes
in the Hudson Valley
Dr. Eugene Boesch
Senior Archaeologist, Historic Preservation & Archaeology
This presentation discusses the archaeology of nineteenth century dwellings using examples from the lower Hudson Valley. Dr. Boesch will discuss what archaeologists know, do not know, and want to know about such domestic sites and will describe how Historic archaeology complements, frequently exceeds, and sometimes contradicts the documentary record for understanding past behavior. The nineteenth century was a time of rapid change that set the stage for twentieth century culture and our contemporary experiences. The archaeology of domestic sites can help place those experiences in a historic context.
