Pretty shot at the site. We’re working on getting some post holes in the South Yard excavated....the weather has been odd today. Foggy, snowed last night. But the #digmontpelier crew is working hard and making lots of progress!! #archaeology #digmontpelie

The clouds were particularly interesting yesterday. If you work @jmmontpelier long enough, you begin to think there isn’t a possible cloud/mountain/sky combo you haven’t seen...yesterday this happened! #loveva #virginia #montpelier #mountains #clouds #his

Really proud of my #digmontpelier team for their hard work and dedication to this excavation. We’ve been at this site for a year and a half, which is a long time to be looking for trees, while a tantalizing 18th century site sits there in front of you. Th

Sisters. This weekend @ashmbrock is taking a much deserved weekend away with her friends. Which means a fun-filled weekend for the four of us staring out the window watching the leaves “fall down”. 🍁 ————————————————————- #fatherhood #parenting

Some beautiful finds today. Its incredible to touch these objects, which are coming from just behind one of the double quarters that was home to enslaved African Americans during the 1820s. These are the proof of these people’s existence, testament to the

The girls have been desperate for mommy time the past month - bedtime, which has been largely a two on two experience since they were born, is becoming more difficult as they refuse to let me hold them for bottles, brush their teeth, help put on pjs, and

Despite the amount of public archaeology we do @montpelier_arch, I don’t often get a chance to instruct and work one on one with participants. Today, since a staff member was out and we are working at multiple sites, I was able to spend a few hours workin

@montpelier_arch, we find at least one of these each year, a Madison family wine bottle seal. Friday, we found one of the better ones, since it is completely intact! Every artifact we find is a direct connection to the past, but these seals are so vivid a

YOU WOULD THINK that this means you should cover up the archaeology site. But no. These storms never actually materialized. Predicting the weather is literally the hardest and most frustrating part of my job. #archaeologylife #archaeology #digmontpelier #

So much happening. Exposed foundation wall from an 18th c outbuilding, with its likely brick rubble remains on the outside, all with a mid-19th century well house sitting on top. Throw in a walnut tree root and you have a pretty good representation of the
