Community Archaeology as Black History

Please join us for a panel featuring four of our community archaeologists ! Heritage West is a community archaeology project created with the goal of using archaeology to uncover stories of individuals who lived in the Black Bottom neighborhood of West Philadelphia from the 19th century to the present. For four months, professional archaeologists, students, and community members worked together to excavate artifacts and features that highlight the love, community, and humanity of the Black Bottom neighborhood and recognize the violence of its destruction. This panel will discuss their experiences. HOSTED AT THE FREE LIBRARY OF PHILADELPHIA: Parkway Central Library, Skyline Room, 4th Floor
