Researching Back in the Lab
Hey everyone, Long time no blog! I wanted to reach out and give you an update about what I am doing now that we are back from the field school and are in the Archaeological Analysis course. My classmates and I have been doing some inventory, cleaning, and sorting to get caught up on what we had left over from field school, and although we are still doing those things, we are also getting started on our own research projects! So let me tell you about what I am doing. For my research project, I am going to be focusing on lead seals found at Fort St. Joseph, specifically where they are from and where they are found on the site, along with the type of lead seal that they are. By doing this research, I am hoping that I will be able to better understand how the type and manufacturing location relate to the location in which they are found on the site. Some things that I am going to look at for this project include our inventory of lead seals that we have found while excavating at Fort St. J
