ages! Sift through the soil to find pottery 
sherds and try your hand at putting them back together!

Taylor Bray Farm Update ~ Free with Museum Admission
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.

Saturday, October 21st @ 10am
