Lunch & Learn: Buried Beneath the City at NYC Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS)
On January 14th, join us as Amanda Sutphin, Director of Archaeology at the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission (“LPC”), shares highlights from her co-authored, award-winning book, Buried Beneath the City: An Archaeological History of New York.

The book explores the ever-evolving City of New York and the day-to-day world of its residents through artifacts— from the first traces of Indigenous societies more than ten thousand years ago to the detritus of Dutch and English colonization through to the modern metropolis. These artifacts reveal the density, diversity, and creativity of a city perpetually tearing up its foundations to rebuild itself.

In commemoration of the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s upcoming 60th anniversary, this talk will also discuss the LPC’s role in the city’s archaeology.

Venue: NYC Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS)
