Join us as we return to The Eyreville Site in Northampton County, located along the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! Eyreville was an extensive plantation dating from the late 17th-19th centuries. This year, we intend to test a part of the site that lies to the west of the main house. During last year's field school, the removal of a tree stump revealed numerous artifacts dating to the 17th century. Excavations this spring will emphasize our view and our understanding of diachronic changes through time by illustrating fluctuations and variations in both architecture and material culture. There is much to see and do in this area in your hours "off the clock:" outdoor site-seeing, visits to prehistoric sites and historic battlefields, and, if you like blue crab, this is your place! See you this spring!
