This summer Geology major Leila Donn, supported by a Mellon Foundation internship, worked with Dr. Sarah Sherwood of Dickinson College and the Sewanee Environmental Institute Archaeology Field School in conducting an excavation of a sandstone rock shelter on campus. Martin Knoll was a co-advisor on the project, which uncovered artifacts dating back to the early Archaic Period. Knoll, Donn, and Sherwood hope to obtain radio carbon dates from the site soon.
