Archaeology of Connecticut’s Battlefields

Bill Memorial Library will host Kevin McBride on Saturday, April 18, at 1 PM for a program on the archaeology of Connecticut’s Revolutionary War battlefields, including Fort Griswold, the site of the Battle of Groton Heights. An anthropology professor at the University of Connecticut, McBride focuses part of his research on battlefield archaeology, the scientific study of conflict landscapes. His work includes recovering and analyzing material remains to reconstruct battles, understand troop movements, and provide accurate historical narratives.

“Connecticut’s Revolutionary War battlefields, fortifications, and encampments are often overlooked as making significant contributions to our state and national history,” he says.
