2012 Workshop in Archeology

March 10 the Maryland Historical Trust and the Archeological Society of Maryland, Inc  hosted their 21st Annual Workshop in Archeology in Crownsville, MD.

CCASM members attending included Carol Cowherd, Josh Eller, Jim Gibb, Elsie Picyk, Carole Raucheisen, and Belinda Urquiza.   Jim also gave a one-hour workshop on animal bone identification.  (Sorry I didn't get a picture. There were multiple sessions, and we never seemed to be at the same place at the same time.)

Dr. Julia King, the keynote speaker, talked about "Finding the Zekiah Fort" in Charles County.   She thanked CCASM for their help.  Analysis on what was found is still going on, and she plans to finish the reports by the end of the summer.

Other sessions included a CAT workshop with an overview of Native American archeology in Maryland, a talk on the manufacture of shell buttons, and a variety of presentations on local archeological projects, both terrestrial and underwater.
