CCASM at Port Tobacco During Governor's Tour

CCASM was at Port Tobacco during Governor Larry Hogan's tour of the Village on Sunday, February 28.  One major objective for the tour was to highlight the proposed plans Charles County has for promoting Port Tobacco as a tourist destination.  A part of that plan includes archaeology, and CCASM was asked to help with that aspect of the tour.

 

Jim assisted by Maggie, a UMBC student, cleaned up the open test units in front of Stagg Hall.  Elsie, Julie, Peggy, and Carol were washing artifacts and sorting artifacts at Burch House.  Unfortunately the governor was running late and did not make it to Burch House, but he did stop at the excavation unit and see Jim.  Also Esther, Charles County's archaeologist, got to talk with the governor briefly.
