Special Reception for Our New Exhibit: Thinking Like an Archaeologist
Featuring the photos of John Spaulding
Sunday, January 12, 12 noon to 3 pm
Connecticut State Museum of Natural History
No registration required – FREE
Before his passing in 2010, John Spaulding worked as a volunteer for the Office of State Archaeology, photo-documenting almost every excavation OSA conducted in the previous decade. In those ten years he assembled an unprecedented body of work, consisting of thousands of images that truly captures the diversity and practice of modern archaeology in Connecticut. In this exhibit we focus on his photos from three sites that are particularly effective at communicating the thought process, historic research, field and lab techniques, and human stories behind each excavation. We hope that, in a small way, the exhibit serves as a remembrance of the enormous contribution John made to archaeology in Connecticut.
