Archaeological finds were in the news in the Capital last week as archaeologists with the Lost Towns Project presented some of their findings during a dig on the Patuxent River. The archaeologists are hoping to find Native American artifacts dating from zero to 900 A.D. to provide evidence of life at the Middle Woodland settlement. What they have found instead are objects dating to time periods before and after, but not their target. Check out the article from the Capital to learn more.
