As a result of a our very successful public
archaeology event at the Allen tract August 17th-18th we have a lot of
artifacts that need our attention before we send them to Alicia Hawkins at
Laurentian U for further detailed analysis.
Some of the artifacts that we cleaned up and
sorted at our September meeting are pictured below, others appear in the fall
