    Excellent presentation. Understanding the many complexities of Monticello is a very worthy endeavor. But always underneath there's this sense of Jefferson's unassailable mind presiding over an unjust system. At least your work brings back the human dimension of it.

      I agree, but sorry to hear all the young women speaking with "up talk" it makes them sound very unprofessional. So sorry this isn't corrected throughout the school system in the US.

    From Google satellite images of Monticello, it looks like there may be archaeology being conducted north of the West Lawn near the house? Does anyone know?

    Not many native artifacts? Jefferson conducted a dig on a Native American burial mound near his home at Monticello. So that means there was a village there and would have been many items.

    • @sophierobinson2738
      @sophierobinson2738 3 роки тому +2

      Jefferson would have kept any native artifacts. These were slave cabins, their things would have either been handed down from the big house, or made themselves or traded/sold.

    I notice that some of the people involved in the work are wearing masks. Unless this has something to do with the preservation of artifacts fine, otherwise I'm displeased to see them wearing masks in the outdoors where there is fresh air to breath. My hope is that this is not a requirement.
