Kingsley Slave Cabin Archaeology

Time: 2:30 pm til 3:30 pm

Location: Middleburg-Clay Hiill Library

Description: Recent excavations at Kingsley Plantation have radically changed our understanding of what life was like for the enslaved people living there. This lesson tasks students with mapping artifacts exactly where they were found in the cabin, just like archaeologists do. After mapping, they work in teams to classify artifacts. Finally, as a group we discuss explore what we can understand about this population by looking at these artifacts in context (where they were found and with what other objects).

FPAN is co-hosting this event.
