Students from Buffalo State College will be onsite in June for an archaeology dig. Visitors can see how the dig is done and ask questions of the students, plus see some of their finds.
This season, the students will be excavating Building 428, a Revolutionary War barracks near the North Redoubt and built in 1757. They will also be looking at and analyzing faunal remains (items left behind when an animal dies) excavated from a midden (an old dump for domestic waste) in 2001 .
