Quentin's Weeknotes 10/3/21-10/9/21

This Week:

• In MUST251, we talked about the material culture of early Euro-Americans in New England, with a close reading of James Deetz' “In Small Things Forgotten”, as well as articles about elite architecture in 18th century rural Massachusetts.
• We were delighted to welcome Michelle Schenandoah for a talk at Hartwick, as part of our speaker’s series on acknowledging Hartwick College’s place on Haudenosaunee land.
• I finished reading Annalee Newitz new book “Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age”. It’s a travelog, a great primer on archaeology, and a love letter to urban living in the past, present, and future.
