Thu, Oct 22 · 6:00 PM

secrets below alta: wild west archaeology in a mining boom town Thursday, October 22nd | Our Lady of the Snows | 6PM | Free | Sign-up Required If you love Old West ghost-town history, you won't want to miss this! For the first time ever, the mining boomtown of Alta has been partially excavated and what emerged from the ground is incredible. Thousands of artifacts were uncovered, including a fully intact bottle of 150-year-old alcohol, a leather hat, bullets, melted shot glasses, animal bones and so much more. Discover what these objects reveal about the rowdy and genteel past of Little Cottonwood Canyon. Christopher Merritt received his Ph.D. from the University of Montana in Anthropology in 2010, focusing on archaeological and historical investigations of the Overseas Chinese. Before that, he received a Master's of Science in Industrial Archaeology from Michigan Technological University, where he studied the trade and consumption of Mormon-produced pottery in Utah. Since 2004, Merritt has worked in a variety of professional archaeological settings, including the United States Forest Service in Utah and Nevada, private archaeological contracting in Salt Lake City, and, finally, as the State Historic Preservation Officer for the Utah Division of State History. In addition to the full-time employment with the State of Utah, he is Adjunct Faculty in Anthropology at Salt Lake Community College and an instructor for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. ACE aims to create an inclusive and accessible environment for all of our attendees; please contact our Executive Director, Sara Gibbs, with any questions regarding accessibility....
