Join us for a FREE evening lecture with esteemed archaeologist Jillian Galle! During the talk Galle will discuss how thousands of small artifacts, from ceramics and fish bone to tobacco pipes and glass trade beads, can reveal information on how people historically navigated slavery. Jillian Galle, PhD, directs The Digital Archaeological Archive of Comparative Slavery (DAACS), based at Monticello, the Thomas Jefferson historic site. DAACS fosters inter-site, comparative archaeological research on slavery throughout the Chesapeake, the Carolinas, and the Caribbean.
