FIELDWORK OPPORTUNITY THIS FRIDAY!!
Attention Camden County History enthusiasts!
On behalf of Rutgers University—Camden, E2PM is offering an invitation to those with an interest in archaeology and the City of Camden’s History to join us on Friday, September 27, 2024 for a Public Archaeology day at the Cooper Street Gateway. Originally settled in the 1840s, this cluster of urban lots offers a unique opportunity to examine Camden’s early history with houses on Cooper Street owned by wealthy landlords and houses on Lawrence Street occupied by tenants of lesser means. The day will include guided tours of the site as well as opportunities for participants to get their hands dirty screening for artifacts (work gloves required).
Tours will be held on the hour between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
Access can be gained to the site from the fence between 421 and 425 Cooper Street.
Paid parking is available across Cooper Street on the southwest corner of Cooper and 5th Streets.
