Behind the Scenes: Corditaipe Site Collections Tour

Step into the Ice Age of eastern New York with Curator of Archaeology Dr. Jonathan Lothrop on a special behind-the-scenes tour of the Corditaipe site collections at the New York State Museum. The Corditaipe archaeological site is an Ice Age encampment located in the upper Mohawk Valley, the homelands of the Oneida Nation. Since 2019, New York State Museum archaeologists and volunteers have been re-investigating the Corditaipe site to better understand its age and the nature of the Indigenous encampments. Join Dr. Lothrop to hear about our fieldwork to date and initial insights on life in the Ice Age of eastern New York.

Registration required. Visitors who have received registration confirmation should meet in the Museum lobby prior to the start of the tour.
