![📢 Preservation Long Island staff were interviewed for Newsdays LI Life cover story published this past Sunday about the important role archaeology plays in illuminating histories often left untold.
“Archaeology is more than just excavation,” said archaeologist Andrew Tharler, the education and engagement director for Preservation Long Island in Cold Spring Harbor.
“We’re trying to understand how people were living in the past by looking at the architecture and artifacts they left behind and the places they were living.”
Archaeology has a sibling-type relationship with preservation. [...] Traditionally in preservation the focus has been on the aboveground architecture. But in the last 20 years our definition of historic preservation has become a lot broader. We look at the importance of the history and the cultural significance of a site. - Tara Cubie, Preservation Director
