Pit 97: Level 1
Completed September 17, 2016 by Art Coogler, Odess and David Brinkman. It was good to have Art back after 2 years. The dig, which took a 4 month break this summer, started back in the artifact rich area between the Judas and Magnolia trees. We gave those trees a 2 year break to recover from cut roots. I guess we were also giving ourselves a break because level 1 took double the effort as we ran into more roots. There wasn't much in the way of artifacts probably because a good portion of level 1's volume was roots.
Pit 97: Level 1 produced: 3 pieces of pottery, 1 piece of glass, 2 nails, 4 Native American pieces, and 10 pieces of charcoal.
