Workshop: Community Archaeology Project Workshop on Material Culture:
Description:.Hampden Community Archaeology Project Workshop on Material Culture Archaeology does not end when the shovels and trowels are put away. Archaeologists must then wash away the dirt in order to reveal the details of the history they've unearthed, and to make sense of their results. Excavations conducted in Hampden during the summers of 2005-2007 resulted in the recovery of 60,000 artifacts, some of which will be available for viewing a the HCAP workshop. Visitors will have a chance to learn about the Hampden Community Archaeology Project, see some examples of the artifacts from archaeological sits in the neighborhood, and share your thoughts on Hampden history.
