State Archaeological Field School at the ABC

The State of Wisconsin held its once a year field school on archaeology in part at our conservancy on May 16th.  Roughly 25 students and two professors, led by Seth Schneider from UW-Milwaukee, spent the morning reviewing artifacts and shovel testing at the ABC.  They found about a dozen objects that had been worked.  Most were flakes but there was a broken knife in the mix.  See below for some pics.  When added to another eight objects found previously (mostly better defined pieces like projectile points, scrapers or fire-cracked rocks, this was enough for Seth to classify this as a site of Native American encampment and he is seeking designation from the state as such on their registry.
