Gearing Up for Season 2016

We are already making arrangements for our 2016 Season, and it's shaping up to be a great one! We have heard from several volunteers, new and familiar, from around the country, who plan on making the trek to Allegany. It looks like we may also have more local volunteers than ever. We will be welcoming six new international volunteers as well, through Volunteers for Peace (www.vfp.org), for our two week international program. Also, students from all over the country are signing up for the field school. Below is a gradiometer map of our focus area at the Bockmier One site, that takes a look at what lies beneath the plowed soil before we dig. It shows many of the features we have looked at, and some that we will be looking at this season. We can't wait to see you all!
