Savage Neck excavation

While most of you are probably not into archeology……..LISTEN UP…….There is a archeological excavation going on right in our own backyard. Down Savage Neck road in Eastville Virginia there is approximately 25 – 30 people, mostly volunteers excavating the beach. I went down there and checked it out…pretty cool…maybe not Indiana Jones cool, but it is pretty exciting for the  Eastern Shore. As soon as you walk onto the beach you will be greeted by someone who will give you a  little info…for example the site has been estmated to be over 2000 years old . Another little bit of info I learned is that it’s the 487th excavation site in Northampton county.  To learn more go HERE.
The excavation is one week only from May 2nd – 9th so get down there soon.

    Great photos, Chris! I was able to take a few pictures myself and actually dig for a while! Found the archeologists and volunteers to be friendly and informative. Enjoyed every minute.
