Digging Veritas: The Archaeology & History of the Indian College and Student Life at Colonial Harvard
We reflect here on the Harvard Yard Archaeology Project (HYAP)—a groundbreaking experiment in which Harvard students of today search for meaning in the material remains of Harvard students of the past. This ongoing archaeological project occurs in a larger collaborative context, as different groups come together to explore Harvard’s history. In 2007 and 2009, Harvard students, professors, and staff, leaders of local Native communities, preservation professionals, tourists, and other passersby visited our excavation site in Old Harvard Yard, sharing in the excitement of discovery and interpretation.
