Kimberley Connors, a local archaeologist specializing in public education, will share the fascinating archaeology of our local environment, from the Native American arrival thousands of years ago, through the European contact of the 1600s, and into the Colonial and early industrial periods. This program can help us appreciate our local landscape and what it offered to newcomers thousands of years ago and to those arriving in the last few centuries as well.

Kimberley holds a MA from Harvard University and has worked on numerous sites in New England and the Middle East. Her research includes local sites along the Assabet River and Nashoba Brook. Her past Hidden History programs have been sponsored by Boston Public Library, Freedom's Way, Friends of Pine Halk, and Iron Work Farm of Acton. Kimberley is the founder of Archaeology Outreach, which brings STEAM and cultural programs to thousands of students across New England. Her talk will be followed by a brief review of Acton’s new archeological protection bylaw, which was just enacted last year.
