Archaeology in major cities can serve a supportive role in the development of the city as well as making accessible its archaeological heritage. This week we delve into the City Archaeology Program in Boston with City Archaeologist Joe Bagley. The City of Boston has a large archaeological collection and this week’s episode touches on the history of the city’s archaeological program and the curation of its surfeit of materials. Our episode will discuss some of the artifacts and history of Boston and what archaeology of a major city entails.
