DESCRIPTION:To make sure the time\, location\, and other aspects have not c
 hanged\, or to share this event with your friends\, please see https://app
 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=43253\n\nBeginning in 2015\, ne
 w development along Alexandria's historic shoreline triggered archaeologic
 al work in advance of construction. Project by project\, the remains of wh
 arves\, warehouses\, dwellings and houselots\, industries\, privies\, and 
 four ship hull remnants emerged from the waterlogged depths at the Potomac
  River's edge. The level of preservation under these modern City blocks wa
 s astounding - 20th century slab-built structures nearly perfectly encapsu
 lated entire remains of historic waterfront neighborhoods. This talk will 
 provide an update on the research and preservation of the ships' timbers a
 nd other archaeological finds. Even as individual features and artifact as
 semblages\, these finds are highly significant\, but when taken together a
 long with a wealth of historical documentary data\, a historic maritime la
 ndscape is taking form.\n\nDr. Eleanor Breen is a historical archaeologist
  with two decades of experience on sites in the mid-Atlantic region. As Ci
 ty Archaeologist\, Eleanor currently directs the renowned public archaeolo
 gy program and museum that preserves and interprets the buried history of 
 the City of Alexandria\, Virginia. Eleanor came aboard at an exciting time
  in the program's 40-year history as waterfront excavations yielded ships\
 , artifacts\, and features pertaining to Alexandria's maritime heritage.
