The Archaeology of Baseball in the (not so) Wild West

Lecture Details

Zoom Registration

Presenter: 

Dr. Robert Schon

Prof. Rob Schon (Anthropology and Classics) will cast a new and distinctive analytical eye on "The Archaeology of Baseball in the (not so) Wild West". Using the results of his excavations of Bisbee's Warren Ballpark (the world's oldest baseball stadium in continuous use), he will focus on the audience experience of the physical venue, contextualized by archival information about the specifics of the sport in southern Arizona in the early 20th century. So grab some peanuts and/or cracker jack and settle in for deep insights into America's pastime!
