Finding artifacts is fun, but Chaucer starts the annual summer camp program by talking about the earliest history of Milford. Campers are shown the tools and technics archaeologists use and later go to a test pit.
Now we get to see what was found!
“Almost every camper finds something indicative of the Native American occupation,” said Chaucer. The most recent dig took place at a site along the Indian River to find evidence of how the Indians farmed the area.
