The Jericho Historical Society presents:

"The Champlain Sea and Indigenous Settlement of Vermont"
A presentation by Professor John Crock, University of Vermont
Thursday, June 22, 7 – 8 PM
Deborah Rawson Memorial Library, 8 River Rd, Jericho, VT 05465

In 1849 railroad construction workers in Charlotte were amazed to unearth a complete skeleton of a whale. The science of geology and the Earth's history was in its infancy at the time, and the indisputable evidence of a sea-going mammal hundreds of miles from the Atlantic coast confirmed that many geological changes had taken place. Although sometimes referred to tongue-in-cheek as the "West Coast of New England," it really was salt water at one time. Please join Prof. John Crock for "The Champlain Sea and Indigenous Settlement of Vermont" to explore this fascinating subject.

Dr. John G. Crock is Director of the University of Vermont Consulting Archeology Program. He is an archaeologist with expertise in the archaeology of eastern North America; archaeology of the Circum-Caribbean; and heritage management.
