fieldwork schedule

The real fieldwork begins this week! We are planning to spend the next three weeks in the field. We will be posting our tenative schedule and dig locations as we know them. Come visit us the field to watch history being discovered.


Unless , of course, it rains. This seems very likely.
The Plan:
~Tuesday we will be doing ground-penetrating radar at the corner of Fahm and Zubley Sts. We are hoping to locate the remains of one of the redoubts, or mini forts, that surrounded Savannah during the 1779 battle.
~Wednesday through Friday we will be working on private land where the Reserve Corps of Haitian volunteers protected retreating allied American and French forces.

The Backup Plan:
~Tuesday will be flexible. Maybe we can do some prep work in the afternoon if it stops raining.
~Wednesday we will do ground-penetrating radar at the corner of Fahm and Zubley streets, hoping to locate the remains of one of the redoubts, or mini forts, that surrounded Savannah during the 1779 battle.
~Thursday and Friday we will be working on private land where the Reserve Corps of Haitian volunteers protected retreating allied American and French forces.

Fine print: Our schedule is always tenative, based on weather, our latest findings, and emergencies.
