January/February News

Newsletters for Spring 2009 have been mailed out. They have been sent out to participating landownwers and a few interested neighbors and volunteers. If you would like a newsletter, let me know. They are sent out every three months or so...
Fieldwork continues at the end of March, weather permitting. Mapping and gradiometer surveys top the list of things to be done in Spring. Volunteers will be learning how to use a Total Station and a Fluxgate Gradiometer. Shovel testing will also occur, and limited excavations will take us into mid-summer. There is one field that still needs to be surface collected. This will occur in April, before the field is planted. More volunteers are always welcome. Most of the work will occur on long weekends this Spring, as I will be teaching in Columbus Tuesdays and Thursdays.
