Summer Archaeology Series: Tools of the Trade

Time: 1:00 pm til 2:00 pm

Location: Ravine Gardens State Park

Description: One of the best ways to show people how we study a site is to share our tool kit. Students observe the tools we use in the field and infer the reasoning behind our choices. For example, many people may know we use a trowel, but what's the difference between the pointy ones versus the flat edge blades? What would we do that? Tools include trowels (yes, plural!), munsell color chart, line levels, various measuring devices, and root clippers. The most important? Our pencil and sharpie for recording our findings.
