Hi Oxbow Archaeologists,

Nik, Becky, Kevin, and I made it out to the site on Saturday.

In the morning we excavated the 20-25 cm level of units 2S-103W and 2S-104W (see map-9-20-08.gif). We recovered several flakes and bone fragments but nothing out of the ordinary.

In the afternoon I excavated the 45-50 cm levels of units 0S-2S – 107W-108W in the original excavation block. This at the bottom or just below the occupation and I only found a few flakes, bone fragments, and F.C.R.

This week we will meet at the Resource Building on Wednesday evening. Next Saturday we will plan on excavating at Sias East.

Coming up on Saturday, October 11 we will have a table at Archaeology Day at the State Museum in Lansing. I could use a person or two to help with the table if anyone is interested.

Hope to see you at the site.

Scott
