The Archeological Society of Maryland (ASM) 2010 Field Session was held May 14-24 at the Smith's St. Leonard Site located at Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum in Calvert County. This site is the home lot of a tobacco plantation occupied during the first half of the 18th Century.
This was a great opportunity to dig, screen, and wash artifacts in the field as well as to meet others with an interest in archeology. Also several special workshops were offered. For more about the Field Session see
