Archaeologists from UMass Boston will hold a public outreach event on Tuesday, June 11 at the John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor, NY, from 12:30-2:30 PM to discuss the upcoming GPR survey of the Afro-Indigenous Burial Ground at Sylvester Manor. Dr. John Steinberg will lead the survey and will join Drs Nedra Lee and Stephen Mrozowski to discuss the ongoing historical research and survey scheduled for this Fall. The Sylvester Manor Archaeological Project team looks forward to discussing the historic and sacred significance with contemporary communities as we continue to understand the Afro-Indigenous Burial Ground for further memorialization of the site. See you all on Tuesday, June 11!
