Looking for the Original Mt. Aventine(s)

Laura Cripps
At the March 8 meeting Dr Laura Cripps described a multidisciplinary project  undertaken by archaeology and history professors and students at Howard Community College.   The original Mt. Aventines located in Chapman State Park in western Charles County were investigated.  The archaeological part of the project involved using non-invasive archaeological methods (magnetometer) to start identifying some of the eighteenth-century features associated with Mt. Aventine.  The history part involved doing archival research.   Laura is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology/Geography at Howard Community College.
