“Dig It!: A Fresh Look at Archaeology” is
designed to introduce teens to one of the most fascinating sciences used to
examine the past, but anyone interested in history is welcome.
The series, presented by Haley Cohen,
will be offered at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library, 702 E. Front Ave., on
Thursdays, Feb. 9, 16, and 23, at 7 p.m. in the Community Room. The first
session will be “Archaeology 101” and will be followed by “Archaeology of
Twilight,” and “Unsolved Mysteries.”
Cohen
is a longtime Coeur d’Alene resident. Although not a native, she’s lived here
since she was 4 years old. A graduate of Coeur d'Alene High School and the
winner of their Honors Senior Project competition, she has taken the lessons of
our community across the country.
She
attended Lycoming College where she double-majored in archaeology and political
science. She completed her studies at Boston University where she earned her Bachelor’s
degree in archaeology.
Since
graduating, Cohen has taken to giving lecture series and can also be seen
locally in productions at the Lake City Playhouse including recent roles in “Fiddler
on the Roof” and “RENT.” She currently works at Parker Toyota and is looking
into going back to graduate school to continue her archaeological studies in
the future.
