The Saratoga County History Center at Brookside Museum is pleased to announce an upcoming presentation on the fascinating archeological and environmental history of the region on May 15 at 7:00 P.M. at Brookside Museum. The discussion will be led by Ph.D. candidate and Hartgen Archaeological Associates researcher John Garbellano. Mr. Garbellano will also discuss two projects completed in Malta and Cambridge that have given a fascinating insight into the local and larger regional archeological and historical contexts. Both sites are located within what was once Glacial Lake Albany and fit into a larger story, helping to expand our understanding of Indigenous people’s movements from the end of the last ice age up to European Contact. This event is free and open to the public however registration is required to attend.
In addition to his Ph.D. candidacy at SUNY Albany Mr. Garbellano is a Dissertation Research Fellow at the New York State Museum, researching cultural and environmental evidence for the earliest occupations and use of shellfish and other resources along the Hudson River Estuary. He has also worked part-time at Hartgen Archaeological Associates as an archaeological monitor and researcher for the last year.
This event is free and open to the public however registration is required to attend.
