As we continue to look at the previous Field Sessions conducted in Charles County by ASM and MGS/MHT, here is information about the Chapel Point Field Sessions.
Chapel Point (18CH79)
The Chapel Point Site includes an Early and Late Archaic short-term camp, an Early-Late Woodland shell midden, and an 17th-19th century cemetery.
In 1988 and 1889 ASM and MGS conducted two ten-day Field Sessions at the site with the investigations led by Dennis Curry and Maureen Kavanagh. The site was selected due to the severe erosion of the shell midden deposits where a bluff overlooked the Port Tobacco River. The primary source of the shell midden appears to date to the Popes Creek cultural period.
Since we are highlighting partnerships, here are some photos of people
participating in the Field Sessions. (Can you identify any of the people in the photos? Remember it's around 1988. I do recognize one person.)
