Layers of Time:
Archaeology at the Abbe Museum
This exhibition takes visitors
through a number of major archaeological excavation
projects conducted by the Abbe throughout Maine. In
each case it includes artifacts found at the site
and answers the questions “What did they want
to know?” and “What have we learned?”
Among the artifacts are a cast of a skeleton of a
4,000-year-old dog and the first pilot whale skull
found in a shell midden in Maine, dating from 2,000
to 1,200 years ago. Other artifacts include a group
of remarkably preserved, unbroken arrowheads found
at another site dating from 2,000 to 1,200 years ago.

The David and Peggy Rockefeller American Indian
Art Collection It
is a tiny pot, the smallest item in the collection.
Yet, it holds the story of this exhibition.
The story is about a pivotal period in American
Indian history when artists, anthropologists,
art patrons and tourists converged in the Southwest
and transformed attitudes toward and possibilities
for the creative endeavors of Native peoples.
