Our Alabama Dig

[danasaur]

Thought you all would like to see photos of our dig. Big success! We found an elites grave. Dates to early woodland. The pottery is probably Depford Plain. Attached to the piece is mica. Probably attached to pot with tree rosin. What fun.

So I see some kids that look to be high school. Are they training to be archeologist? Nice dig
Also what happens to all of the artifacts after the dig ends?

They are high school and college. Report goes to Alabama Historical Commission. Artifacts to Randolph County Museum. Elite's grave was full of mica, pottery and points! About 3'x3' and about 4' deep. All I can say right now.
