Sheridan Community Land Trust has announced the public can take part in a one-of-a-kind Discovery Session that involves unearthing Sheridan County’s past.
According to the Land Trust, cursory examinations of portions of the SCLT Big Goose Natural Area have revealed artifacts that are believed to have been used by Plains Indian Tribes.
Residents who take part in the Discovery Session will join a team of qualified archaeologists from Cultural Resource Analysts, Inc., in Sheridan to conduct an archaeological survey of the SCLT Big Goose Natural Area.
By joining Unearthing Our Past, participants will be actively helping to discover stories of Sheridan County’s past today, so they can be preserved and studied.
The team from Cultural Resource Analysts will conduct a short educational session where participants will learn how to conduct an archaeological survey and see examples of artifacts you may find. Then, participants will put those skills to use as the group breaks into teams to survey the entire property. SCLT staff anticipate the survey will take 4-6 hours, depending on the number of participants. Sign up by clicking here.
Unearthing Our Past begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 17, at the SCLT Big Goose Natural Area, located at 14 Lane Ln., in Sheridan.
