MHT/ASM Workshop - 2022

The 31th Annual Workshop in Archeology was held at the Maryland Historical Trust in Crownsville, MD, on Saturday August 28, and like its name implies this year there were a lot of workshops.

The day started with the Keynote Speaker Dr. Laura Masur from Catholic Universality talking about The Archaeology of Jesuit Plantations and Jesuit-enslaved Ancestors at three sites in Maryland.

Next there were several workshops, some being held at the same time.  So we had to choose.

  • Introduction to Land Patent and Deed Research with Matthew McKnight
        
  • Flintknapping and Lithic Identification with Nate Salzman and Zachary Singer
        
  • Post Colonial Earthenware Identification with Patricia Samford

  • Zooarch 101: Basic Faunal Analysis with Valerie M. J. Hall 

  • CAT Workshop on Basic Lab Procedures (Parts I and II) with Sara Rivers Cofield

Concurrent with the workshops Sammy Orlando and Megan Ossmann gave individuals an opportunity to take a virtual tour of Mallow Bay-Potomac River National Marine Sanctuary.  Virtual reality headsets let each person take a 360 degree tour.  Click links to see the virtual tour without a headset and  to see different level paddling itineraries
