Digging Veritas: The Archaeology and History of the Indian College and Student Life at Colonial Harvard

Title: Digging Veritas: The Archaeology and History of the Indian College and Student Life at Colonial Harvard
Exhibit Dates: November 10, 2008 to January 2010
Location: Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, 11 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, Harvard Square
Phone: 617-495-1027

The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology presents a new exhibition on the archaeology of Harvard Yard entitled Digging Veritas: The Archaeology and History of the Indian College and Student Life at Colonial Harvard.

Through archaeological finds from Harvard Yard, historic maps, and more, the exhibition reveals how students lived at Colonial Harvard, and the role of the Indian College in Harvard’s early years.

Student archaeologists unearthed evidence of colonial Harvard as a landscape shaped by social and religious tensions—tensions that affected everything from Native American and English settler relationships to the everyday routines of student life. As the students searched for meaning in the material remains of Harvard students of the past, three themes emerged: literacy and the Indian College; rule (breaking) and religion; and negotiations of social status. Who knew small fragments buried below ground could reveal so much?
