Milford historian treasures pre-human artifacts

MILFORD — Tim Chaucer, who runs the Milford Marine Institute museum, has a historian’s love of old things. So when he got a call about five years ago from a Milford man who was getting rid of his grandfather’s collection of artifacts, some likely acquired during the years he funded Yale archaeological digs, Chaucer headed right over. The man who called Chaucer said the collection had gotten wet, and he planned to throw away the items that he couldn’t give away. Chaucer and his assistant spotted some interesting items right away, like three-legged pots dating to the 18th century.
