History is right under our feet; we just need to dig a little to
find it. Though not the most popular construction project, Boston's
Big Dig has contributed more to our understanding and appreciation
of the city's archaeological history than any other recent event.
Joseph M. Bagley, city archaeologist of Boston, uncovers a
fascinating hodgepodge of history-from ancient fishing grounds to
Jazz Age red-light districts-that will surprise and delight even
longtime residents. Each artifact is shown in full color and
accompanied by description of the item's significance to its site
location and the larger history of the city. From cannonballs to
drinking cups and from ancient spears to chinaware, A History of
Boston in 50 Artifacts offers a unique and accessible introduction
to Boston's history and physical culture while revealing the ways
objects can offer a tantalizing entree into our past. Packed with
vivid descriptions and art, this lively history of Boston will
appeal to all manner of readers, locals and visitors alike.
