Archaeology Post

The post "Archaeology as a Primary Source" is the result of a classic group effort.  It was a project that developed through the dedication, cooperation, and persistence of several people, including:

Bryan Kozik- Summer Intern 2008, National Heritage Museum, Education & Public Programs; Terrie Wallace- Curator, Minute Man National Historical Park, Concord, MA; Alicia Paresi Friedman- Curator of Archaeology, National Park Service, Northeast Museum Services Ctr.; Judith Broggi- Project Manager, National Heritage Museum, Education & Public Programs

With the help of those listed above, the content and associated material was developed and written by the primary Archaeology post contributor:

Polly Kienle- Teacher, National Heritage Museum, Education & Public Programs           

Kienle has a long-standing interest in the archaeology of colonial New England.  She is pleased to be able to support the integration of archaeological artifacts into classroom instruction because encounters with physical objects open up new opportunities for students to learn about history.  Besides being an enthusiastic teacher at the National Heritage Museum, she has conducted archival research on the social economy of eighteenth century Lexington, where she resides.  Recipient of a 2008 New England Museum Association Professional Development Award, she is exploring how digital technologies can be utilized to present and interpret material culture for public history audiences.  She is currently completing her Ph.D. in Eastern European History at the University of Konstanz, Germany.
