CCASM has been working with Charles County at the ongoing Public
Archaeology Lab since 2015. The lab is for processing artifacts
recovered from various archaeology initiatives in Charles
County - including artifacts from investigations of sites on County
properties, artifacts recovered from savage archaeology in the County,
as well as artifacts recovered around the 1970's before the Port Tobacco
Courthouse was reconstructed. Esther Read is the archaeologist in
charge.
Location: Courthouse (2nd floor; use South Wing door) and Burch House (both inside and outside) in Historic Port Tobacco Village map

Monday October 6 two buses from Walter J. Mitchell Elementary School (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) came to Port Tobacco with second graders. They got the chance to visit the One-Room Schoolhouse, tour Stagg Hall, and be introduced to archaeology. Today Monday Denise, Linda, Elsie, Claudia, Carol, and Malinda along with Esther worked with the students. It was a great group of students.
This spring we provided the Stagg Hall docents with an introduction to archaeology script and archeology activity boxes for the students. Although the students were coming almost every day for a number of weeks, we only helped on Mondays. However that prevented us from being in the field. This fall we need to be in the field and the docents know what to do. So we have only been able to help on two Mondays.
