Archaeological Field School at Fort Hill | Let's Go!

Clemson University facilitated the second year of the Archeology Field School at Fort Hill with a team of students under the direction of faculty member David Marcus. The goal of the project was to locate past outbuildings beyond a reconstructed kitchen. The search is for the spin house / weave room, laundry, smoke house and eventually the domestic residence for an African-American cook as the long range goal. The students hit the foundation footings and uncovered a number of artifacts.
