Artifact Facts

At Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site


It's artifact show and tell time! Artifacts help tell stories about a site, about the people that inhabited a place, and often about the interactions of those people with the broader world. Archaeological staff will have a table set up near the parking lot with a variety of artifacts from different excavation units at Colonial Dorchester SHS. Come by and check out the artifacts, ask questions, and have discussions about the people and places associated with these artifacts.
