You can come upon an archaeological finding just about anywhere. What happens when that object was a keepsake meant to stay in the ground?
It’s a chilly June morning in 2016 on Cole’s Hill in the ancestral homelands of the Wampanoag, in a village called Patuxent, otherwise known as Plymouth, Massachusetts. The scent of salt spray and fish-and-chip shops mingles with the fog coming off the Atlantic Ocean. You may know it as the home of the Pilgrims or where the first Thanksgiving took place. We’re not talking about Pilgrims today.
Finding Mrs. Judith Jackson put a name and a story to this discovery. It was no longer just a cache but a precious collection of keepsakes. This gave a different perspective to the excavators at the site, like Nadia Waski.You know, on the academic side, it’s extremely exciting.
It was maybe an autumn day, sort of like the day when I’m recording this—November, with a chill coming, the sea breeze tugging the last brown leaves off the mostly bare branches. I think each object in the cache represented someone she had lost. Maybe the lock of hair was her daughter’s from when she was a young child. The pocket watch could have belonged to her husband, given to him by his own father. Maybe the leather belt was her son’s, and he wore it every day.
