NHSM Archaeology Club* March Meeting

The past speaks through what we leave behind. This can be actions or artifacts. Up and down the river that was named after them, the Susquehannock planted, traded, hunted, built villages, created art, fought with their neighbors, and welcomed the strange people from afar. Debbie Saylor, curator of Indian Steps Museum (Airville, PA) and the Blue Rock Heritage Center in Lancaster, PA will share with us knowledge that has been unearthed and analyzed by archaeologists about this ancient people’s life and lifestyles.

*Natural History Society of Maryland’s Archaeology Club promotes the value of archaeology in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and surrounding areas. The goal of the Archaeology Club is to educate citizenry in the ethics, methods, and artifact preservation methods of archaeology and how archaeology can be used to document, discover, and promote local history. The Archaeology Club is inclusive to all persons who have an interest in archaeology.

Normally, Club meetings, trips and other activities are open solely to Club Members. However, during COVID, NHSM is opening up this meeting to all, though we are asking for a $5 donation from non-members. If you are an archaeology enthusiast, please consider joining us.
