CCASM had an exhibit at the 11th Annual Nanjemoy Heritage Day on Saturday September 24.

| Elsie with Diagnostic Information |

| Barbara with Archaeobotany Activity |
If you look closely at the exhibit on the left, you might be able to see a DVD player showing a slide show of various CCASM activities, notebooks with diagnostic information for identifying historic and prehistoric artifacts, posters for telling time with historic artifacts, and the back of the Port Tobacco Display.
For the first time a children's activity was included. The archaeobotany activity involved picking out seeds, e.g. corns, beans, onion, from gravel and identifying them. The seeds were then taped to a form for the children to take with them.
Elsie Picyk and Barbara Kane represented CCASM at the event. George Picyk provided the photos. They had an enjoyable afternoon meeting others interested in archeology as well as promoting archeology in Charles County.
We would like to thank those CCASM members that provided items for the exhibit. And we would especially like to thank Barbara Kane for developing the children's activity, Dr. James Gibb for allowing us to use the Port Tobacco Display, and the Picyks for providing the DVD player.
