Ceramics recovered from past archaeological excavations at Hirundo Wildlife Refuge preserve evidence of sophisticated cordage-making skills among past Wabanaki potters. Although the cordage does not survive over time, imprints of cordage on Indigenous ceramics can provide clues to understanding past textiles. On Nov. 5 from 2–-3 p.m., Bonnie Newsom, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Maine will lead a hands-on workshop introducing participants to cordage-making and discussing Wabanaki ceramics recovered through past archaeological research at the Hirundo Wildlife Refuge.
