Mapping stratigraphy means you have to really look close at subtle changes in soil, inclusions, etc… Here the topsoil was very thick! #jamesmadison #montpelier #digatmontpelier #archaeology #archaelogy #artifacts #stratigraphy #dirt #virginia

Today we uncovered around half a dozen small features! They are areas of light brown, moist soil that likely are from roots deep below the ground level. #virginia #montpelier #jamesmadison #archaeology #archeology #archaeologyexcavation #artifacts #histor

Today we've been working on finishing up paperwork from Chance's unit. We try to put down as much information as we can so people can look back in the future and know as much as possible. #digmontpelier #archaeology #archeology #blacksmith #history #paper
