David,
I don't think that the Popham excavation is still open, though you would
definitely enjoy the book- "Fort St. George: Archaeological excavations
of the 1607-1608 Popham Colony" by Brain. If you are in the Bucksport,
Maine area, I know they have been excavating at Fort Knox, but I don't
know what future plans are like. Also, the Abbe Museum in Bar Harbor
runs a week-long archaeology field school every summer. The research is
often prehistoric, but the historic/perhistoric border is permeable.
I am in the early stages of planning an excavation for summer 2011, but
the details have not been ironed out yet.

The question was; "Why study History?". The answer given was: "The study of History is who we are and where we came from!" I never thought of it that way. Now I wish I had paid more attention in class for it seems I really missed out on a lot of fun.

I visited relatives in Acton, N.H. this summer and nosed around some really good historical parts. Haven't been able to find site info concerning the area. I am thinking of rounding up my survey gear and going back in 2010.
