MHT/ASM Workshop - 2023

The 32nd Annual Workshop in Archeology was held at the Maryland Historical Trust in Crownsville, MD, on Saturday September 23, and like its name implies this year there were a number of workshops.

The day started with the Keynote Speaker Dr. Al Luckenbach talking about Pig Point on the Patuxent: The Excavation of a Prehistoric Sacred Place.

Next there were several workshops, some being held at the same time.  So you had to choose. 
An overview of the various workshops was included in the October 2023 issue of the ASM Ink Newsletter (lhttp://marylandarcheology.org/Newsletters/2023/10-2023.pdf)

Ned was the only CCASM member attending.  He indicated that this was the best of the approximately 3-4 conferences at Crownsville that he has attended.  Four other members had planned to attend but the weather forecast caused them to change their minds at the last minute, and they stayed home.  Ned did say there was occasional hydroplaning.

CCASM is a chapter of ASM.
