The 2nd edition of Digging in the City of Brotherly Love: Stories from Philadelphia Archaeology includes three new chapters that illustrate how archaeology in the city reveals unexpected evidence of the past and provides a material record of the city becoming a city. Dr. Yamin will discuss several newly discovered burial grounds, nineteenth-century working-class neighborhoods uncovered during renovations to Interstate-95, and the long history of the site where the Museum of the American Revolution now stands. She will also talk about how ongoing archaeology adds to the buried record of what was previously known.
