Chapter meeting: Special Speaker for November - online only!

 SPECIAL SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT

The Incorporated Orange County Chapter of the New York Archaeological Association (IOCCNYSAA) is proud to present a Special Speaker for November.

November is typically IOCCNYSAA’s annual banquet. Due to difficulties with reservations and COVID-19 concerns, IOCCNYSAA has opted to hold a virtual program instead on Friday, November 18 at 7:30 p.m. We hope you can join us. 

The speaker was part of NYSAA’s Dutch Symposium last April and blew us away with her fascinating talk, research, and boundless knowledge.

Meta Janowitz is a Historical Archaeologist specializing in the study of ceramics. She has worked as a Material Specialist for several cultural resource management firms and teaches at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. She has worked on numerous projects in New York City, including the African Burial Ground and the Stadt Huys (the first City Hall), and other sites in the Northeast, the Middle Atlantic, and the Caribbean. 

Meta’s special talk for the IOCCNYSAA will be about Dutch-American food during the 17th century based on both archaeology and paintings. 

Be sure to tune in for this fascinating talk.

Researching Three Early Paleo Sites 

President-elect David Johnson will be the presenter at our October meeting. During August David worked on three early paleo sites located in Kentucky, Wyoming and Nevada. His presentation will discuss the research being conducted at these sites. Two of the sites are paleo quarries, and the other is associated with hunting Pleistocene animals including mastodon. The points found at the Wyoming site are being classified as a new type of paleo point. David will be presenting in person at our October meeting, and it will also be televised. For those who attend the meeting in person, there will be a display of artifacts from some of these sites.
