Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
To some, it’s a leafy park with good jogging trails. To others, it’s a commuter’s shortcut into the heart of Washington. But Rock Creek Park is also a treasure trove for archaeologists — a place to dig up clues about the early Americans who lived in the D.C. area. Join Kojo as we talk with two archaeologists about their discoveries in the park and what they tell us about the history of the nation’s capital.
Guests
- Stephen Potter Regional Archaeologist for the National Park Service, National Capital Region
- John Bedell Senior Archaeologist, The Louis Berger Group
- Ruth Trocolli City Archaeologist, Historic Preservation Office, D.C. Office of Planning
