Please join us on Wednesday, March 28th, 7:30pm. at the Hyattsville Branch Library, for a lecture and discussion on “Prince George’s County Historic Waterways”. Archaeologist, Stephanie Sperling, will discuss her work regarding the Chesapeake Bay. Archaeologists have discovered sites in the Chesapeake Bay watershed that span at least 12,000 years of human history. From Native American camps, to colonial plantations, to fishing wharves, to beach resorts, these sites tell the story of the myriad ways people interact with the water. The effects of climate change threaten to erase much of that history through erosion, sea level rise, and storm surge. Learn what archaeologists in the region are doing about this and how you can help.
Stephanie Sperling is an archaeologist with nearly 20 years’ experience in the Middle Atlantic. She is a recognized expert in the region excavating and advocating for coastal sites, and now works with the Natural and Historical Resources Division of Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation.
