Episode description

This time we take a look the beginnings of historical archaeology in the U.S., ceramics and what they tell us about the past, and several New England archaeological sites.

"In Small Things Forgotten: An Archaeology of Early American Life" by James Deetz is a remarkable book because it is informative, yet a very pleasant read from a time when most writing on archaeology was anything but.
