Upcoming Zoom Event at BPL - Digging in the Shadow of the Shard
by Mick Howey 15 Jun '21

15 Jun '21

Dear Michlib-I, Please join us at 3:00 PM on Saturday, June 19, 2021 for the program Digging in the Shadow of the Shard. We will be welcoming Ellen Green from across the Atlantic for an intriguing discussion about archaeological digs in the city of London, UK. Please find the event description below: The city of London is a modern, thriving metropolis, a far cry from the barren deserts and deserted jungles people picture archaeologists working in. Yet the UK's capital city contains over 6000 years of history beneath its streets, and a large number of archaeological digs. Ellen Green gives us a look at the glorious, muddy practice of urban archaeology. Ellen Green is a PhD researcher at the University of Reading in England, specializing in human remains. Prior to her return to academia she was a field archaeologist in London for 5 years, and has worked on sites from every period in the city's history. She developed a love of archaeology through many visits to Roman ruins and castles in the UK over many vacations, which inspired a fascination with the past. She is also a big fan of Indiana Jones. This event will take place on Zoom. To attend, please register at https://bit.ly/35nJpOO. Hope to see you there! Best, Mick Howey, MLIS Adult Services Librarian Baldwin Public Library 300 West Merrill Street Birmingham, MI 48009 (248) 554-4649 https://www.baldwinlib.org/ Currently Reading <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/72296780?utm_med…> [image: Book Cover] <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_destination/72296780?utm_med…> [image: Goodreads Logo] <https://www.goodreads.com/?utm_medium=gr_logo&utm_source=email_signature>Get your own email signature <https://www.goodreads.com/user/email_signature_instructions?utm_medium=gyo_…>
