Unearthing Gotham
the archaeology of New York City
by Anne-Marie E. Cantwell
"Under the teeming metropolis that is present-day New York City lie the buried remains of long-lost worlds. The remnants of nineteenth-century New York reveal much about its inhabitants and neighborhoods, from fashionable Washington Square to the notorious Five Points. Underneath are traces of the Dutch and English colonists who arrived in the area in the seventeenth century, as well as of the Africans they enslaved.
And beneath all these layers is the land that Native Americans occupied for hundreds of generations from their first arrival eleven thousand years ago. Now two distinguished archaeologists draw on the results of more than a century of excavations to relate the interconnected stories of these different peoples who shared and shaped the land that makes up the modern city."--BOOK JACKET.
