What beautiful weather to close out 4 amazing “Public Dig Days” hosted by the Gloucester County Department of Parks & Recreation. Members of the (Gloucester County) Chapter of ASNJ had another productive day unearthing artifacts from historic Fort Mercer in National Park, N.J. In addition to our club members, we are thankful to the many local Archeologists who volunteered their time and knowledge to assist in this public history event! A special thanks to Dr. Jennifer Janofsky - Rowan Professor of Public History and Curator of Red Bank Battlefield along with Wade Catts, Archeologist and President of South River Heritage Consulting who have coordinated this popular public participation event for a second year!

Welcome to Week #3 as we continue digging into the past at the Red Bank Battlefield… Today’s dig was called “ARCHAEOLOGY DAY FOR VETERANS”. It was an honor to invite and dig with the many Veterans who proudly served our nation. Members of the ASNJ assisted with digging and identifying the many artifacts that were screened by out guests. This is the third installment of four public archaeological digs created by the Gloucester County Department of Parks and Recreation under the direction of Dr. Jennifer Janofsky and Lead Archaeologist, Wade Catts. We are continuing to find many amazing Revolutionary War artifacts from the 1777 Battle of Red Bank, along with an array of Native American artifacts too!
