Dr. Jim Gibb of Gibb Archaeological Consulting and others have been looking for the 1662 Jesuit Chapel in the cemetery of St. Francis Xavier Cemetery in Newtown (St. Mary's County). At the CCASM September 12 Meeting Jim described the work done at the site while highlighting the results from this summer's field session. There were images of features in the ground as well as artifacts that provided strong evidence for the location of the 17th Century earthfast chapel as well as of a nearby domestic structure that may have been occupied by the Jesuits. The final report is still in progress.
This summer's session was a collaborative project of the Archaeology Society of Maryland and the St. Francis Xavier Parish. Jim indicated that he along with those camping at the site had fun. Several CCASM members participated in the Field Session.
