History of Archeology in Maryland's First Capitol

Silas Hurry

At the November 12 CCASM meeting Silas Hurry recounted the history of archaeology at Historic St. Mary's City starting with evidence that a colonial resident probably collected projectile points and continuing up to the present.  We learned about all (or most) of the archaeology projects and research that has been done there in the past 200+ years.  Along the way we also saw early photos of many of Maryland's archaeologist when they were working at St. Mary's City.

Silas D. Hurry is Historic St. Mary's City Curator of Collections and Archaeological Laboratory Director.

Getting time to catch up
before the meeting

You may notice our meeting room looks a little different.  At the last minute our regular meeting room was not available, and Mike offered to have us meet at his house.  So thank you Mike.
