The event is sponsored by the Historical Society of Easton.

Silverglade will present an overview of 30 local prehistoric artifact collections and will discuss his identification of 54 new prehistoric archeological sites in town.

A trove of Easton artifacts will be on display including pottery, ring shards and projectile points.
