On Saturday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. at the Sharon Fish and Game Club, 303 East Street (just north of Billings Street), Sharon Friends of Conservation, The Sharon Garden Club and the Sharon Historical Society invite all to attend a screening of "Hidden Landscapes" - A video documentary by Theodore Timreck.
Shrouded in myth and controversy for decades, the mysterious stone ruins found in Eastern North America have now become the focus of a new research initiative that is quite different from the efforts of the past. New, working collaborations between professional scientists, Native historians and the amateur, antiquarian pioneers of stone monument research have brought their perspectives together.
Working in partnerships, they have begun to show that many regions and communities in the Northeast may contain an important archeological legacy of monumental landscape architecture with deep roots in the American past.
In connection this showing, a specific site in Sharon will be discussed.
Theodore Timreck has won a Peabody award and a Smithsonian Award for his documentary work
His anthropological works include: A portrait of Franz Boas, The Lost Red Paint People and Vikings in America for PBS (Nova).
Please note location of this event may change if a larger audience is anticipated. Please check the Sharon Advocate the Friday just prior to the event.
