Thanks to Mr. Chris Judge, our host for the week-end!
As part of the Archaeology Merit Badge, Troop 655
scouts dug 20cm by 20cm exploration holes in areas
of the site surveyed for future excavation.
Scouts sifted
soil through
screens.
Time for mud....Soil from "features" was placed in
bags and carried to the edge of the river where it was
washed through screens.
As part of the Archaeology Merit Badge, scouts received instruction on how pots and projectile points
made.  They also had a chance to see some of the materials discovered at the site.....
