Fun Day at Work

I found something whole!

What a great field crew!

As anyone who knows me knows, I hate being cold. Working in the winter can be miserable. There is nothing worse than excavating perfectly good dirt only to have it freeze solid before it can be screened. This year, however, we had a client provide us with tents - fully equiped with lights and a heater run on a generator! Plus the site yieleded a lot of great artifacts, including toy tea sets, doll parts, and lots of buttons and beads. We also found a Lincoln campaign button - especially cool because the people who owned the house were former slaves freed after the Civil War.
