Abstract
In this poster, I present an on-going archaeological and historical analysis of the habitation within Schenectady Stockade Historic District from pre-contact to the 20th century. I have contributed to a collaborative research effort with SUNY Schenectady County Community College’s Community Archaeology Program (CAP), as part of a research internship for independent study credit in Anthropology at UAlbany, under the supervision of CAP’s Louise Basa. This research is focused on 2017 excavations and continuing analysis of a multi-component site in the historic district. This research also includes an analysis of 4 other CAP excavated sites currently presented in an exhibit I created at SUNY Schenectady’s Begley Library.
