Montpelier Archaeology:
A great first day of digging at our new site with our first expedition of the spring! We are examining an area visited in 2014, exploring the 19th century plantings that were located in the area. #archaeology #digmontpelier #pubarch #citizenscience

It’s a beautiful day for our #digmontpelier team! Here our expeditioners Karen and Denise are screening dirt with @djberry_1751 - keeping an eye out for any artifacts. What’s the coolest thing you’ve found in your screen? #artifacts #screening #publicarch
Montpelier Archaeology:
Second day of expedition starting off strong. The Manning family is back for their second public program, and learning how to do transition paperwork and recording between stratum. #PublicArchaeology #citizenscience #archaeology #penetrometer #stratigraph

Our #digmontpelier expeditioners Suzy and Lucy are clearing off brick rubble in the Grove. Notice anything unusual about any of these bricks? The wedge shaped bricks are called #compassbricks and look like they may have been leftover from the back colonna
Montpelier Archaeology:
This year the #DIGMONTPELIER team is trying something new. #troweltalk gives us an opportunity to get public program participants to learn AND participate in discussing and understanding stratigraphy and deposition across the site. This gives us a chance
Montpelier Archaeology:
Find of the day! A slate pencil fragment. Several of these have been found through excavations near and around enslaved contexts here at Montpelier. What do you think objects such as these can tell us? #DIGMONTPELIER #archaeology #smallfinds #excavation #
Montpelier Archaeology:
Can't help but smile with the memories we make with our #digmontpelier expeditioners. Finding something is always fun, but playing a part in making people's dream of participating in an archaeological excavation is so rewarding. #neverstoplearning #trynew
