Junior Archaeology Camp: Part 2!

Hello everyone!  This past week we had the Junior Archaeology campers and it was a great week!! The excavation behind Winn-Yeaton could not have gone better and they found many interesting artifacts.  One interesting pattern we noticed as the week went on was that there were signs of children living close by.  In the 1800s when Yeaton became apartments, there were children living there and our excavation uncovered artifacts proving so.

We all had a great week and found some great artifacts! The campers learned a lot about excavations and how to map and measure as well as techniques for digging in historic areas.
