Buried Beneath the City with Nan Rothschild and Arthur Bankoff
Tickets are no longer available online, but may be for $50 at the door.
Nan A. Rothschild, an urban social archaeologist and adjunct professor at Columbia University, and Archaeologist Arthur Bankoff, will present Buried Beneath the City: An Archaeological History of New York. This award-winning book uses urban archaeology to retell the history of New York, from the deeper layers of the past to the topsoil of recent events. It explores the ever-evolving city and the day-to-day world of residents through artifacts which reveal the density, diversity, and creativity of a city perpetually tearing up its foundations to rebuild itself. Buried Beneath the City is both an archaeological history of New York City and an introduction to urban archaeology.

Sampler on display at Van Cortlandt House Museum
You’ll find out when you join us on Thursday, November 7, in NSCDNY’s field trip to Vassar College in the lovely Hudson Valley, where we’ll view an outstanding collection of 315 samplers given to the College in the 1920s and 1960s. They originate from Western Europe, Britain, and North America, ranging in dates from 1660 to 191 -- one of the largest private groupings in a major art museum.
We’ll meet in Vassar’s new Heartwood conference center, hear a presentation by founders of the Dutchess County Sampler Initiative, sampler experts Stacy Whittaker and Joanne Lukacher, enjoy a catered lunch, then observe examples of the Vassar collection in the College’s superb Loeb Gallery. You’ll have time to ask questions and view one of the prettiest college campuses in the Northeast.
