Maryland Archeology Month is a celebration of our shared archeological heritage - created by Maryland's diverse inhabitants over the last 12,000 years. Protecting this irreplaceable archeological heritage provides opportunities to discover and learn from the past. We invite you to "Get Involved!" in Maryland's past by attending as many events as you can, and by exploring this web site's gallery of archeological mysteries!

Lecture: "Over the Sea to Somerset: Seventeenth-Century Trade in a Neglected Corner of the Chesapeake"

Description: While the Lower Shore is considered a “backwater” today, in the early colonial period water was the highway. David Browne was a Scottish merchant-planter who profited handsomely from Somerset’s trade, and analysis of artifacts recovered from the site of his home reveal the extent of his transatlantic connections.
