Description: Digging in the City of Brotherly Love by Rebecca Yamin "This archaeological investigation into eighteenth and nineteenth century Philadelphia includes updates and three new chapters covering recent developments: recognition of unmarked African American and other burial grounds, discoveries in the path of Interstate 95 construction, and findings from the excavation of the site of the Museum of the American Revolution"-- FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Historic Philadelphia has long yielded archaeological treasures from its past. Excavations required by the National Historic Preservation Act have recovered pottery shards, pots, plates, coins, bones, and other artifacts relating to early life in the city. This updated edition of Digging in the City of Brotherly Love continues to use archaeology to learn about and understand people from the past. Rebecca Yamin adds three new chapters that showcase several major discoveries from recent finds including unmarked early eighteenth-century burial grounds, one of which associated with the first African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, in the oldest part of the city; a nineteenth-century working-class neighborhood built along the path of what is now Route I-95 and was once home to Native American life; and the remains of two taverns found on the site of the current Museum of the American Revolution. Yamin describes the research and state-of-the-art techniques used to study these exciting discoveries. In chronicling the value of looking into a citys past, Digging in the City of Brotherly Love brings to life the people who lived in the early city and the people in the present who study them.
