Charlotte Taylor will visit the Harmony Library to discuss the archaeology of Glocester. She will begin with the thousands of years of Native American habitation of the land and move on to the historical archaeology of Glocester covering both the agricultural and industrial history of the town as manifested through old farm and mill sites.

She maintains an inventory of the locations and conditions of the state’s shipwrecks, and she is the author of the book Rhode Island Shipwrecks, published in 2017.
