Participants work directly with City Archaeologists to excavate an historic site and discover evidence of earlier times. Participants excavate on a real archaeological site, work with their excavated artifacts in the archaeology laboratory, and take field trips and walking tours. In the year 2001 our eighth annual Summer Camp will be held at the Shuter's Hill Site, an historic period site close to the King Street Metro. Experience Summer Camp in A Great Excuse to Get Dirty , excerpted from the Federal Archaeology Report. Fee includes all materials and an Alexandria Archaeology tee-shirt.
Participants bring their own food and drink for lunch and snacks.
