Stubbs, who did his dissertation on artifacts from Harvard Yard, lived in Matthews Hall as a first Year student, and was a proctor in the yard and union dorms for eight years. His many years in the Yard, he says, give him a unique perspective on Harvard's history.
WHILE THE YARD covers a wealth of artifacts. Williams warns that archeological excavations often raise more questions than answers. For example he says, it is easy--and appealing--to conclude that the hundred of wine bottles Stubbs has found were all used by students in a party of colossal proportion...
Laboratory analysis will help provide answers to some of the questions, William's says. Back in the lab, Stubbs will date and inventory the artifacts and reconstruct some of the vessels.
At lot of this material, Stubbs says, is worthy of an exhibition. Already, the Harvard Union has a second--floor display of some Harvard artifacts. Stubbs' new finds would complement that collection, he says, or may wind up in a Peabody Museum gallery.
Stubbs would also like to write a book, he says, documenting the archeological history of Harvard yard. With the exception of two digs, Stubbs has been present at every Yard excavation.
