Lunch & Learn: Uncovering New Discoveries in the Museum Collection

Description

Our Lunch & Learn on May 20 from 12:00 to 1:00 PM, featuring volunteer Amethyst Dunn and her recent work with the museum’s collection. Dunn will share how cleaning, research, and comparison with archaeological examples led to new insights on pottery fragments and stone artifacts, including techniques used to reveal faint decorative patterns and identify production methods. She will also highlight the discovery of a lead fragment initially mistaken for stone and how it is now preserved. Attendees will gain insight into the research process and explore discoveries currently on display in the museum’s first-floor middle hall.
