We will be going to Colonial Williamsburg’s Public Archeology Institute on a grant. We will be learning about archeology through hands-on experiences and lectures. We will learn archeological field techniques, such as site excavation and recording methods. We will be learning about what archeologists learn from artifacts and their contexts. We will be combining physical and documentary evidence to get a better understanding of the project site and its place in history. On the final day, each participant will lead a group of family, friends, and other visitors on a tour of the site we have been excavating.
