Students intent on the dig

June 26, 2012 Posted by: Doug Wilson

The second week of field school excavations has begun! In the first photo, field school students work with our park volunteers to excavate a unit. This area has been identified by historical maps and previous archaeologists as the site of an unknown fur trader and his family.

Excavating a unit
