Esther Read suggested we start investigating a small piece of wooded land in Port Tobacco that was next to a dropoff. It was uncertain what would have been at that location, and there was no documentation of previous investigations on the site.
So on Monday May 9 instead of having lab we gathered our equipment and went to the site. After clearing off the fallen branches and debris that had been thrown on the site, we put in three STPs that we back-filled before we left. We mostly found brick, mortar, and slate. Of course, this is just the beginning. There will need to be other STPs dug, but the artifacts recovered need to be processed and additional historical research is needed.
Volunteers included Malinda along with CCASM members Denise, Kathy, Linda, Ned, Peggy, and Carol.
