Topic on October 3: Learning to See: Rock Art, Cave Art, and Stone Landscapes in Pennsylvania
Historically, rock art has been only a footnote to Pennsylvania’s below ground archaeology. As a result, more enigmatic aspects of the cultural landscape, including cave art and stone landscapes, were either overlooked, not looked for at all, or dismissed because they did not fit into the accepted concept of how rock art “should” look. This presentation will discuss the approaches used to identify sites, gain insight into known sites, and foster an appreciation of the indigenous communities that shaped their landscape.
Melanie is an Curator at State Historic Preservation Office, Archaeology Curation Section where she assists in the care of collections representing over 16,000 years of Pennsylvania’s past. Her professional interests include increasing awareness, understanding, and interest in Pennsylvania’s past, and its role as a cultural crossroads.
This free virtual program is presented via Zoom. Registration is required.
