Artifacts found during weekend dig near Amsterdam

Sifting for the smallest traces of history at the dig site while visitors look on.

The Bates County Museum’s Public Archaeology Visitors Day this past Saturday was well attended and Dr. Ann Raab shared the findings of the old settler, John Green’s, homestead. Archaeology processes are tedious but the findings are well worth the investment of time. Bates County history speaks to us through the artifacts. There are great stories of the past in our midst waiting to be told!- our thanks to Peggy Buhr

Many questions were answered as archeologists unearth artifacts in Western Bates County. The hunt was led by
Dr. Ann Raab and crew.
