Silver cufflinks, mid-late 18th century. Excavated from the cellar of the Robert Given home.

Come visit the scenic coast of Maine and join historical archaeologist Dr. Neill De Paoli and his team of dedicated volunteers as they excavate the site of the late 18th century home of prominent local merchant Robert Given. Dr. De Paoli will also lead a search for further evidence of the 17th century English fishing and trading plantation of Pemaquid on Bristol's Pemaquid River.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore the world of this English frontier settlement while learning basic excavation and recording techniques, laboratory procedures, and historic artifact identification methods. The field school will be highlighted by a ground-penetrating radar survey of the property and weekly films.

The course number for Archaeology Field School is HTY-200
