Hello all.
I am posting this request for Jocelyn Boor ([log in to unmask]), from the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Please send any responses to her directly.
Thanks!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------
For the past three summers, the Southeastern Wisconsin Archaeological
Program has been conducting field school for students in grades 5
through 7 at Trimborn Farm, an 1850s farm/lime kiln (4 of them) site
that is on the National Register.
Last summer in Unit 1, a feature was found at the base of Level 9 - 80
cmbd. It first started as a greasy ash stain near the south wall; the
charcoal and degraded lime contents were basined to reveal the profile
in the south wall of the unit. Excavation continued to 2 meters below
the surface, and the feature continued to produce charcoal and
weatered limestone.
Geomorphological investigations were done - the feature continues at
the same depth for 12 meters east of the unit, and 14 meters north of
the unit.
The 2x2 meter unit was dug next to the east wall of the house. We were
hoping to find traces of the summer kitchen that local oral history
places in that area.
Help! Please! Any thoughts as to what we may have found? The identity
of this feature is a mystery. Please respond off-list to my email. All
assistance is greatly appeciated.
