Back at the site for a few days last week--lots of fog, sun, and even snow! We'll be there in June for our 11th annual summer field school. Here are a few pictures from our recent work.

We finished our field season on June 30th, having reached the bottom of the big feature that we've been working on since 2021.We hit a very thin deposit of pale brown clay on top of subsoil, with lots of small features intruding into sub. The base of the feature is very flat in the part that we were able to excavate, suggesting that this is a cellar rather than a borrow pit. We ran out of time before we could excavate the fill sealing the walls. A large ditch runs roughly parallel to the fill on the north side. Now it's back to the lab for cataloguing, data entry, and analysis until next year.

The UTK field school returned to Heathsville this week. We’re working on a large 17th-century feature with a mix of artifacts made in the mid-Atlantic and Europe. On Friday we found a patent farthing, a small copper token made in the 1630s or 1640s. We also finished testing a Late Woodland site at nearby Boathouse Pond.
