Weeknights at the Wagner: Landscapes of Enslavement

Join this evening lecture with esteemed archaeologist Jillian Galle! During the talk Galle will discuss how thousands of small artifacts, from ceramics and fish bone to tobacco pipes and glass trade beads, can reveal information on how people historically navigated slavery.

DAACS fosters inter-site, comparative archaeological research on slavery throughout the Chesapeake, the Carolinas, and the Caribbean.
