Hello,

On Saturday the Baldwin Public Library hosted the fascinating and entertaining program Digging in the Shadow of the Shard. The program focused on archaeological digs that have been done in London, England. The program progressed through the different time periods of London, highlighting specific or intriguing finds from each period. Ellen Green was the presenter and was great! She was personable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Ellen 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 she has worked on sites from every period in the city's history. Many participants commented how much they enjoyed the program, one saying it was a breath of fresh air. Something to keep in mind, Ellen lives in England and as such the program must be remote and most likely on a Saturday or Sunday. 

If you are interested in hosting the program, Ellen can be contacted at green.ellenjane@gmail.com
