Fall Archaeological Dig 2009

This year's fall dig was entitled "Prehistoric USA" and featured artifacts, stories, and food of the Paleo-Indians, Archaic, and Ancient Woodland peoples. The weather was great - warm and no rain. Another four days of great digging with Big Dog!

Spring Archaeological Dig

Our spring dig this year was in April in the early weeks of spring. The theme was Greece during the time of the Middle Ages. The weather was fine and the digging was great. The week culminated in the exhibition of artifacts and a pot luck of Greek delights. Looking forward to next fall!

We Dig the Dig!

We can now say we have fully recovered from our second archaeological dig with Geoff "Big Dog" Purcell, this one on Western Africa (Mali). Our first with Big Dog was last spring on the Ancient Maya.

Big Dog's personality, management style, and ability to creatively deliver information about the artifacts, and relate to world and American history without dumbing down is remarkable. This dig was further enhanced by the dry, mild weather. "Wow" sums it up.

Outstanding experiential learning!
