December 12 Michael Lucas talked about the past and current archaeology being done on an eighteenth and nineteenth century tobacco plantation. The plantation site is located in the Mount Calvert Historical and Archaeological Park in Prince George’s County. Archaeology done in the 1990's on two sites recovered artifacts from the plantation and from a tenant site. Mike showed artifacts that could have belonged to slaves.
Recently a magnetometer survey was done in what is believed to be the slave area of the plantation. Archaeology in this area has begun, and Mike showed some of the artifacts recovered. Work will continue in this area over the next year(s). To volunteer or for
more information you can e-mail Mike at
Michael.Lucas@pgparks.com.
Mike is an archaeologist at Prince George's County, Natural and
Historic Research Division of Maryland National Capital Parks and
Planning Commission.

Barbara Kane handed out the CCASM polo shirts to those that had purchased them. Below Peggy and George are holding one up. It is still possible for others to purchase a shirt. We would like to thank Barbara for initiating this project and doing all the work with the embroiderer to make it happen.
