 The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History

Presents

Wing Island: Archaeology at the Place Between

With

Dr. Fred Dunford



BREWSTER, MA — The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents Wing Island: Archaeology at the Place Between with Dr. Fred Dunford, Saturday, November 9, 2024, at 1pm.



Wing Island is a small parcel of upland woodland situated on the shore of Cape Cod Bay in Brewster between the southern Gulf of Maine and the peninsula of Cape Cod and Nantucket Sound to the south. For thousands of years and for many different communities it was both literally and figuratively "a place between". A way point for native peoples who traveled between the rich coasts of Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic to the south; between seventeenth-century English and Wampanoag families who lived along Paine's Creek and between the time in Cape Cod's history when the shoreline was a place of industry and the modern era when coastal spaces are conserved.



>From 1995 to 2003, Dr Frederick Dunford directed the CCMNH Archaeology Program in an intensive archaeological survey of the Island. Learn what was discovered during this project and why Wing Island has always been and is today a "place between".
