Are you interested in historic sites in Brooklyn and around the world?
Meet Salpi Bocchieriyan , Archaeologist!
Tuesday May 30, 4:00 - 5:00PM. Live and Virtual (with registration)
Dr. Salpi’s work focuses on protecting archaeological sites on public lands, during construction projects, and in conflict zones. I wonder what they will be able to tell us about some of Brooklyn and New York’s historical sites! Learn more about them on our Padlet and post your questions . Join us in person or by Zoom to "check out" this interesting human being (instead of a book).
