SUMMARY:Lecture – “As long as I have served\, I have not left a battlefield in such deep sorrow”: The Archaeology of a Mass Burial Discovered at Red Bank Battlefield
DESCRIPTION:For nearly a decade\, Red Bank Battlefield Park\, N.J.\, has been the focus of a series of archaeological studies investigating the Hessian attack on Fort Mercer on October 22\, 1777\, during the Philadelphia campaign. During a public archaeology program conducted in the summer of 2022\, a mass burial space was discovered and is thought to contain remains of Hessian soldiers who lost their lives in the attack. Wade P. Catts\, lead archaeologist for the study\, discusses how they made the discovery\, what was found\, and the analyses they’ve made so far. \nRegistration is requested.
