Analysis of Baylor: a Contact-Period Site

Catherine Dye

At the December 12 CCASM meeting Catherine Dye discussed findings from the artifact-rich Baylor Site (44EX0005),  She also compared the Baylor Site artifacts to those from six other historic-period Native American sites in the Chesapeake including two sites in Charles County.

During the summer of 2018, archaeologists from St. Mary's College of Maryland and field school students from the University of Mary Washington undertook excavations at numerous Native archaeological sites located in the Rappahannock River Valley as a part of the Rappahannock Indigenous Cultural Landscape Survey. The Baylor Site, a previously unexplored contact-period site, was excavated as a part of that project.

Catherine is a graduate of St. Mary's College of Maryland and is currently working on projects with Dr. Julia King and Scott Strickland.
