SUMMARY:The Helme Site: New Archaeological Research in the Albany Pine Bush
DESCRIPTION:\n	Lecture begins at 7pm\n	Questions and Networking hosted by Friends of the Pine Bush Community 8pm-8:30pm\n\n	IN-PERSON SOLD OUT\n	\n	VIRTUAL: If you would like to watch it online\, please click here to get a link.\n\n	\n	This first talk of our 2025 Science Lecture Series will focus on recent research conducted by the University at Albany’s archaeological field school in the summer of 2024.\n	\n	The field school conducted research on a mid-nineteenth century farmstead that was occupied by the Helme family to learn about what life was like on the outskirts of Albany in this unique environment. Initial research indicates that it was occupied for perhaps over 50 years based on hundreds of artifacts recovered from the site and intact architectural features. Many of those artifacts and early analyses of the site will be presented at this talk by the two professors who ran the field school\, Dr. Sean Rafferty and Dr. Chris Wolff.\n	\n	Dr. Sean Rafferty is a Professor of Anthropology at the University at Albany. He got his B.A. in Anthropology from Hartwick College in 1990\, his M.A. in Anthropology from Binghamton University in 1994\, and his Ph.D. in Anthropology from Binghamton University in 2001. His research has focused on the use of intoxicating plants by the Indigenous peoples of North America. Recently he has focused on how archaeology and history are misrepresented in popular culture.\n	\n	Dr. Christopher Wolff is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University at Albany. He got his B.A. in Anthropology from Portland State University in 2001\, his M.A. in Archaeology from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 2004\, and his Ph.D. from Southern Methodist University in 2008. His research primarily focuses on the Indigenous peoples of the Far Northeast and their interactions with their various environments\, but more recently he has been examining the impact of European colonization on various peoples and landscapes in northeastern North America.\n	\n	Suitable for tweens\, teens and adults.\n	 \n\n	This lecture is being offered in a hybrid format.\n\n	IN PERSON: If you would like to attend in person\, please reserve your tickets below.\n\n	VIRTUAL: If you would like to watch it online\, please click here to get a link.\n	\n	 \n
