Thought this was worth passing along. Angelika is a good friend of mine, forum member, and CTX user. Congrats to her for being part of this..

Angelika did not dig any targets, but pinpointed and graphed them for the archaeologists to recover.

That's cool. I'm sure she had a blast helping uncover all that history. Several years ago I volunteered to help with a dig on an Air Force bombing range that was going to be expanded. There was an old dry lake bed there and we gridded it into square meters and then dug down into several sample pits....also to a depth of one meter. The archaeologist directed us the entire time, but we used shaker screens exactly like the ones pictured in this article. We were mainly looking for Native American artifacts, but found some more modern items also. At the end, when I had spare time, I'd go by her office and help catalog the finds. There were many of them. I don't know what it all was used for, but it was definitely an interesting activity for me. I'd love to help on a site with a MDer like Angelika is doing.

Thank you Gary :blush:
Hopefully the data I submit to the Archaeologist will be a useful tool in locating the site of the Angelican St. George's church in 1816. It served as a hospital and arsenal for Washington's troops.

Isn't that awesome! Too bad more archies are not like these.
