On July 14 Dr. Julia King thanked the CCASM members that volunteered to help process artifacts from Notley Hall. CCASM's help in the lab allowed Dr. King's crew to spend more time in the field at Windy Knoll, the possible Piscataway Fort.
Dr. King shared photos of the work done this year at Notley Hall and at the Windy Knoll. There was also an opportunity to looks at the artifact distributions and to try to understand what the distributions might indicate. Some of the contact period artifacts found at Windy Knoll are shown below. You should see a copper point, a gun flint, a white tobacco pipe stem with a maker's mark, and glass trade beads.
Not all the volunteers were able to come to the informal show and tell. But for those who could, Julie took to lunch at the Front Porch in Leonardtown.
It was quite a nice "thank you".
