Do you mind if I put this link on my web page in the links for educators
section. I think Australian students would be interested in following a long
term historic archaeological project like this.

One of my students and I have started a Facebook page for a long-term
historic archaeology project I have been directing. Fieldwork occurs every
May and June as part of an archaeology field school I direct. This year we
are excavating at an early 20th century Japanese camp in a heavily forested
area near Vancouver in western Canada.

Previous excavations and historical research suggest it was a Japanese
logging camp used for a few years around 1920. Objectives this field season
include (i) getting a good sense of camp layout, with a view towards making
it an interpretive stop in what is now a recreational area, and (ii) testing
the hypothesis that after its initial abandonment in the early 1920s, a
small group of Japanese continued to secretly occupy the camp until the
Internment of Japanese in early 1942.

The Facebook page is new. Over the next few weeks, I will be adding photos
from previous work at this site and other sites nearby. We will also be
adding more photos and info as our progress over the next several weeks.

If you are interested, here is the link.
