Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this society class:

What do a light bulb in the Bronx, bon bon tongs in Brooklyn, and an ancient ceramic pot in Queens have in common? They are all artifacts that have been uncovered in archaeological excavations and that can tell us more about people who have shaped our city but who are barely, if at all, visible in written documents. 

Inspired by our exhibition, Who We Are: Visualizing NYC by the Numbers five archaeologists will present five objects, one from each borough, that humanize census data and illuminate the experiences and contributions of diverse “ordinary” New Yorkers. Followed by a conversation moderated by Curbed NY editor Amy Plitt.

Speakers:

  • Allan S. Gilbert (PhD)
  • Elizabeth D. Meade (MA, RPA, PhD candidate) 
  • Lynn Rakos (MA, RPA) 
  • Diana diZerega Wall (PhD)
  • Carol S. Weed (MA, RPA)

Moderator:
