Saturday November 16, 2015 we returned to Stagg Hall. Work continued on the test unit containing the lead print type, and a new test unit was opened adjacent to it. This new unit further defined a brick foundation that had been seen last time in the wall of the previous unit. The question is which unit was inside the building and which was outside. Or was the foundation really to support an interior wall. Once again lead type print was found. Eighteen people including two CCASM members participated.

On October 31 two test units and one shovel test pit were dug. The second test pit was particularly interesting. We uncovered part of a foundation that appears to be associated with a print shop. A number of lead print types were found. We will continue to investigate that unit at the next field event, but we will start washing the artifacts recovered this coming Monday. The weather was just right for working out of doors. Twenty-two people including nine CCASM members participated. (Esther was the only one that dressed up for Halloween.)
