Digging deeper to tell untold stories | Alexandra Martin | TEDxAmoskeagMillyard

How can a small artifact or stain in the soil reshape our understanding of history? Historical archaeologist Alexandra Martin, PhD takes us on a journey through New Hampshire’s hidden past, uncovering stories that weren’t recorded in textbooks or historic documents. From Indigenous wigwams to 20th-century Jewish mikveh, she reveals how the discarded and forgotten can become powerful tools for connecting with the lives of everyday people. In this engaging talk, learn how archaeology helps us build a more inclusive and tangible history – and how you too can question whose stories are being told in the history around you.
