It was a pleasure to have the NC Office of State Archaeology on the grounds of the Capitol last week. What an honor to have our colleagues investigate Capitol square during Archaeology month!!
The area they worked on previously had very little archaeological exploration. The team located various small artifacts that are now being cared for by their lab! Thanks, y’all! 🪏 ⛏️
