Taylor Bray Farm Update ~ Free with Museum Admission<br>
</b>The 2016 field season at Taylor Bray Farm investigated the area
around the ca. 1640 Richard Taylor house that was discovered back in
2012. In 2016 archaeologists identified colonial trash deposits, two 17th
century farm buildings (the only ones yet discovered on Cape Cod) and a
6000-8000 year old Native American projectile point. The 2016 dig
represented the last year that work will be conducted on this important
site. This talk will present a summary of all that the Taylor Bray Farm
community archaeology program has found over the years at this very
important site.<br>
