Buried Beneath the City uses urban archaeology to retell the history of New York, working backward chronologically from the topsoil of recent history down to the deeper layers of the past. The book explores the ever-evolving city and the day-to-day world of its residents through artifacts.

An archaeological study of the growth of Manhattan during the colonial period, this book documents the emergence of Manhattan as the center of class-structured capitalist commercialism in the new nation-state.
