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.

September 16, 2002 - 7:30 pm

The featured speaker is Chapter Vice President

 Veronica Ditko

who will be presenting:

“Recent Archaeological Research About the Pfahlbauer”

at 7:30pm (both in-person and on Zoom). Also known as the Pile Dwellers / Lake Dwellers of Europe,
these people lived from Neolithic to Bronze Age *mes. What is curious about them is that they decided to live on s*lted houses in lakes (and currently represent more than 100 UNESCO World Heritage sites!), yet they also farmed the land. Veronica will explore the possible reasons why and how they lived, based on archaeological findings, as well as what ended their way of living.

All are welcome!

Dave Moyer is IOCCNYSAA's Featured Speaker following the meeting.

     Join us on Zoom on February 18 at 7:30 p.m. to hear Dave Moyer, owner & president of Birchwood Archaeological Services, speak about recent excavations in Callicoon, Sullivan County, NY. Dave is also a friend in the New York Archaeological Association, where he currently serves as vice president.

Dave's talk is entitled, "Archaeological Excavations at the Callicoon Creek Precontact Sites." Archaeologists, who were working as part of a new wastewater project in the Village of Callicoon, have identified a series of precontact archaeological sites dating back thousands of years. Artifacts recovered have included chipped stone tools, fragments of pottery and debitage from stone tool production. While the artifacts suggest use of these sites over thousands of years, features including cooking hearths, post molds and food storage pits suggest an intensive occupation dating to Late Woodland times.

Results of the study reveal important information about seasonality, ceramic production and mobility in the Upper Delaware watershed.
