Throughout the day, we continued with more shovel test pits on the site.  We were searching for traces of the early nineteenth and eighteenth-century landscape and dwelling features.  We have yet to find any evidence of these features but during the excavation of our STPS, we found pounds and pounds of slag and an iron strap.  During the day, one of the students located a stone foundation in the tall grass which was not on our site maps. This foundation became the location of our first test unit.
