Herring Run: A Community Based Archaeology Project in Northeast Baltimore

Author(s): Lisa Kraus; Jason Shellenhamer

Year: 2016

Summary

The Herring Run Archaeology Project is a low-cost, community-based archaeology program that runs almost entirely through volunteer efforts. This paper will present the results of our first year of research and fieldwork, the successes and failures of the project, and the need for new models for public archaeology in Baltimore City. We'll also discuss the ways in which the seeds of the modern neighborhoods that surround Herring Run Park were planted in its earliest European- and African-American settlements.
