Lecture
Christopher Lindner
Ancient Peoples Along the Mohicanituk
6:00 pm
FREE
Long before Europeans discovered and colonized what is now New York
State, ancient peoples fished, hunted, and gathered plants along the
great river they called the Mohicanituk. Christopher Lindner,
archaeologist in residence at Bard College and director of the college’s
Archaeology Field School, will describe a new outdoor exhibit on the
ancient use of the estuary, located on the Greenway Trail at Bard.
Lindner recently excavated large 5,000-year-old campsites at the college
and the Rhinebeck town park, and has conducted several summer digs
researching the Guinea community, an early 19th-century settlement of
African-American freed and fugitive slaves in Hyde Park.
This lecture is sponsored by the University at Albany and the
University at Albany Foundation.
