The archaeology of Richmond is showcased in a special exhibit running through August 4 at UR Downtown, UncoveRVA: Achaeology for Our Past, Present, and Future. Curated by UR students in Derek Miller’s anthropology seminar this spring, the exhibit explores Richmond’s hidden histories and what the city and its residents can gain by engaging responsibly and thoughtfully with the past.
