We warm by the fire for our last Fall semester class!

December 5th was our last class for the 2014 season.  Our aim was for students to look up some of our artifacts (creamware, the musket ball, the hand-wrought nail, etc) from Site 7 to find possible dates and other useful information.  We also turned it into a little bit of a party, with a roaring fire (on the projector), egg nog, and other snacks.  A good time was had by all – and a productive time, too.  The students found several excellent resources.  Information on our artifact finds for Site 7 will be posted soon!

Planning has begun for the Spring semester.  Four of the Fall students will be returning: Jessica, Sam, Levi, & Arthur, and they will now act as mentors to the new students.  So far, we have 13 total registered!  Also to plan is both a spring-break intensive field school and a four-week summer field school.  More information on those coming up in the spring!
