Working directly with students on research projects is what we do.
So, a number of years ago I remember reading
about the cemetery for this old structure,
and that there was a group that wanted to
build a memorial because apparently there's
no map of this cemetery, and the headstones
were removed in, the last of them apparently,
in the 1970s.
It had been an abandoned cemetery for 30 years
by that point.
I think it's pretty fascinating to actually
to see the data because when we were going
into the field we had no idea really of what
we were going to find.
I think it's really cool to work with people
that are fascinated by that.
I can tell them about historic preservation
planning, and I can tell them about archeological
survey, but doing it is a completely different
experience.
It was the coolest because I didn't
expect to see actual little graves.
It was very eerie, but really really exciting
to see that our work had, you know, actually
produced something.
This is a pleasure to me to be able to both work with the students and show them this and do
something, that to me is really interesting,
and help out the county.
That is a win, win, win.
