Washing Artifacts

Sunday April 1 CCASM members washed artifacts in front of the Port Tobacco Courthouse.  The artifacts were from the shovel test pits (STP's) excavated at a Native American site in Charles County.  There were a lot of fire cracked rocks (which tend to be a result of cooking), lots of flakes, and a number of sherds from at least three types of Native American pottery - cord-marked (Potomac Creek), fabric-impressed (Pope's Creek) and one that was incised.  Now we can start cataloging what was found.
