The Alan E. Carman Museum of Prehistory is working in partnership with the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape and the Archaeological Society of New Jersey to gather information from a threatened Ancestral Lenape archaeological site. Sign-ups are now open to join us on our public dig days!
Participants will work with professional archaeologists and the descendant community in a collaborative event to preserve heritage before its lost. Volunteers will rotate through different workstations and participate in various stages of an archaeological excavation! All sessions will begin with an orientation discussing the history of the project, the significance of the site, and the importance of safeguarding heritage. The site is within 15 minutes of the Alan E. Carman Museum of Prehistory.
Sessions are from 9am-12pm and 1pm-3pm on November 9 and 10. Please sign up using this link to secure your spot: https://www.signupgenius.com/.../10C094FACA72EA0FFCE9...
