Archaeology at Mordecai Historic Park

Mordecai Historic Park 1 Mimosa St, Raleigh, NC

Professor John Millhauser, the Director of Anthropology for NCSU, will work backwards in time, starting with how people living in the neighborhood use the park today and moving back through the creation of the park in the 1970s, the establishment of the Mordecai neighborhood, the property during the Civil War, and the founding of Raleigh in the late 18th century. The lecture will close with the lives of Indigenous people who lived here for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. We hope you enjoy this closing lecture of the ‘Digging Deeper’ lectures series. Learn about the recent excavations at Mordecai Historic Park and what a sample of the objects found reveal about the many people whose lives have intersected here. We will work backwards in time, starting with how people living in the neighborhood use the park today and moving back through the creation of the park in the 1970s, the people who helped build the Mordecai neighborhood in the first half of the twentieth century; the people who lived on the property before, during, and after the civil war; and the people who founded Raleigh in the late eighteenth century.
