Saturday April 18 and Sunday April 19 professional archaeologists, avocational archaeologists (including a number of CCASM members), as well as a lot of other interested people excavated test units to the east of the Rich Hill Farm House.
There were even a few future archaeologists.
Esther Read was the principal investigator. CCASM members participating included Sarah, Elsie, Steve, Jim, Carol, Lindsey, Julie, and Noelle.
This event was part of Charles County's "Lincoln 150 - On the Trail of
the Assassin". Charles County Historical Society co-sponsored the event with Charles County Tourism. Rich Hill was the home of Samuel Cox. After John
Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln 150 years ago, Cox hid Booth on this farm for several days.
CCASM also had an "unmanned" table. The wind kept blowing over the displays. So thanks to Gary and Neal who were at the adjoining Charles County Genealogical Society table and took care of the CCASM displays.
