Rhode Island is blessed with a wealth of historic buildings, but there are thousands of  years of history below ground and underwater.  Join Charlotte Taylor, State Archaeologist, on a deep dive into the archaeological sites beneath our feet and under our water (including many here in Newport), exploring what they tell us about our past and why they are worth protecting.

Please register for an email reminder.

Charlotte Taylor is the Principal Archaeologist at the Rhode Island Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission.  When old human remains are found in Rhode Island, she's the one that gets the call and determines what should be done next. Fortunately, this is only a small part of her job.
