12,000 YEARS AGO IN THE GRANITE STATE: More than 12,000 years ago, small groups of Paleoindians endured frigid winters on the edge of a small river in what would become Keene, New Hampshire. In 2009, an archaeological survey for the new Keene Middle School discovered the remains of their stay and brought to light one of the oldest Native American sites in New England. Come hear more about this amazing discovery.
This event is sponsored by the Atkinson Historical Society and NH Humanities. It will be hosted at the Kimball Library on December 8, from 6-8 PM.
Presenter: Robert Goodby is a professor of Anthropology at Franklin Pierce University. He holds a Ph.D. in anthropology and has spent the last thirty years studying Native American archaeological sites in New England. In 2010, he directed the excavations of four 12,000-year-old Paleoindian dwellings at the Tenant Swamp site in Keene, and his book A Deep Presence: 13,000 Years of Native American History was published in 2021.
