JPPM is proud to present Edward Chaney Deputy Director of the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory as part of the 2011 Archaeological Speaker Series; Archaeological Discoveries: Beneath the Sea, Below the Ground, and in the Lab.
The lecture titled, “...There is Still Some Remains”: Excavations on the 18th c. Smith Plantation will be held on Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 7:00 P.M. at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory, located in Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum. Lectures are free and open to the public.
Chaney supervises the Lab’s Collections and Research divisions, directs the JPPM Public Archaeology Program, assists Maryland Historical Trust staff in managing the cultural resources of Southern Maryland, and oversees the JPPM research library. He has been conducting archaeology in the Mid-Atlantic region since 1978. He received a B.A. in anthropology from the University of Maryland, and an M.A. in anthropology from the University of Florida.
Join Mr. Chaney as he reports on the latest discoveries from the fascinating Smith’s St. Leonard site located at JPPM. From 1711 to 1754, the Smith family lived at the mouth of St. Leonard Creek. While the house has largely washed away, archaeological traces of the kitchen and other outbuildings are still preserved below ground. Excavations have uncovered a number of structures, including one of the oldest horse stables in the Chesapeake region.
Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum, a state museum of archaeology and home to the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory, is a program of the Maryland Historical Trust, a division of the Maryland Department of Planning. It is located on 560 scenic acres along the Patuxent River and the St. Leonard Creek in St. Leonard, Calvert County, Maryland.
