A camp like this one adds little to the established knowledge of the war. It is well documented that troops were in the area (that's how the site was found in the first place). We know who was there, and why. There are examples of most relics that would be unearthed at a site like this already in possession of the state. So there is very little "new" to be found at such a site.<br /><br />I'm not faulting the Office of State Archeology - in fact, I have worked on site with them in the past using a detector. But they have limited resources, and allocate them the best they can. Sites like this one just don't make the cut, so it's up to the amateurs to do what we can before progress takes over and destroys it.Detecting Saxapahawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034299436275492653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8766331347107352217.post-60512228303693989002012-02-22T10:03:35.612-05:002012-02-22T10:03:35.612-05:00Cool finds.
