This morning, while digging a pod of shovel test pits at the Overseers House on the Home Farm, one of our field interns Alyssa came upon this great example of a coat button with the shank still intact!
Greenstone projectile point identified from the Overseer's House site.
A small number of #ProjectilePoints have been recovered this season, (including those crafted of quartz, flint, and greenstone) revealing how much of Montpelier's #landscape was integral to life in the #Manahoac and #Monacan nations before #colonization.
