The Carver Red Hat Mamas Visit the Robbins Museum

The Carver Red Hat Mamas added a lot of color when they visited the Robbins Museum on
Thursday, March 13, 2008. Sheila Lotti, their Queen, led the expedition.  Mary Concannon, the Robbins Museum Education Liaison/Docent Coordinator, hosted their visit.

Mary Concannon, on the right, brought her own red hat for the occasion.
Here she explains "post molds" and their importance in interpreting the Wapanucket Site.

These artifacts are from the Wapanucket Site in Middleborough.  There was a lot of discussion about how Native Americans were able to look at a piece of stone and see a finished tool.  See below for information on ordering our
newly released publication on the Wapanucket Site.

"Wapanucket" has been reprinted! This was the archaeological report by Maurice (Doc) Robbins, the first Massachusetts state archaeologist and one of the founders of MAS, about the excavation of a well known Native American site on the shore of Assawompsett Pond.   Please visit the "Wapanucket" page to read about and order this publication.  Photos are also online from the March 31, 2007 Wapanucket Celebration.
