The Gottschall Site...

The cool-est thing I did was participate in a class called Archeology - Field Work. This meant that about 8 of us drove an hour to this rockshelter (cave) which was called The Gottschall Site. The dig and the site are run by Beloit College, which has an excellent archeology program. These are the pictures from this unique experience.

The excavation
This is the actual excavation area. Each person worked in a foot square by inch deep area. Small trowels were used to search each layer for artifacts.

The pictographs
There were actual cave drawings on the overhang inside the cave.
