More Fun From the WiFi Install at the Mt Vernon Archaeology Lab


Mount Vernon recently installed Wifi throughout the Estate, which meant for lots of dirt uncovered, which, in turns, means lots of artifacts for the archaeology lab.  Last week, I washed these artifacts and from near the South Ha Ha wall....some iron, bones, lots of glass and ceramics, shells, and a few modern things like bottle caps and even a fake fingernail! It's always interesting!

A Rewarding Morning at Mt Vernon's Archaeology Lab



After a morning of washing prehistoric artifacts, we had a nice collection of preforms and points! (In addition, rocks are to the side...and flakes are to the front).
