Archaeology Field Experience Program

Project results Oct. 16 - Oct. 20

This week we worked with students from Elyria, Troy Intermediate, and three combines classes from Pennsylvania The weather this week turned rainy and very muddy but our spirits were not dampened. We recovered flint flakes, ceramic sherds and even a complete notched point from excavation. The notched point was recovered from N539 E514. It was our wettest day of the program, and we barely made it back to the site but those students from Pennsylvania braved it and recovered the notched point...way to go!!! This point is further evidence of the occupation of the site by native peoples. The site has been previously described as a hunting and fishing camp, and this find helps to bolster that understanding of the site. Thanks to all of you for braving the elements and continuing our successful field season.
