With the new school year Charles County School second
graders are once again visiting the Historic Port Tobacco Village. The visit now includes an introduction to archaeology. Esther Read, Charles County
Archaeologist, has planned age-appropriate activities to introduce the
students to archaeology. CCASM members will be
assisting.
Friday October 20 2aw the last school visit for this year. There were fourteen 2nd graders. Joyce Edelen took half the children into the Courthouse. Joyce had created a mock trial activity that the children really got into. The other half heard Esther's introduction to archaeology and then got to wash artifacts with Carol and mend ceramics with Ned.
The Wednesday, September 20, school visit was the first one for this school year. There were twenty-two 2nd graders. Joyce Edelen took half the children into the Courthouse. Esther gave the introduction to archaeology. Denise and Elsie helped with the artifact washing while Ned and Esther helped with the vesselization (matching and taping broken ceramic vessels back together).
(I believe there may have been one other school day. Two were cancelled)
