Trip to Mount Calvert

Saturday July 16 was the CCASM trip to Mount Calvert Historical and Archaeological Park in Upper Marlboro. This was the highest rated option on our survey for a weekend CCASM trip during the summer.

At Mount Calvert they are currently excavating a late 17th- early 18th century site.  But the site was also occupied in Archaic and Early Woodland times. Two of the more interesting artifacts we found were an Archaic LeCroy point and a Rhenish stoneware sherd with the letters "ET•HIB•"
We also took time to visit the museum and to enjoy the view of the Patuxent.  It was a beautiful day.
