Archaeological Dig – Phase 2!
November 3 through November 7, 2025

8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Dr. Zac Singer, the State Terrestrial Archaeologist, will be returning to St. John’s from Monday, November 3, through Friday, November 7 to conduct a second phase of the archeological work he began last Fall. The dig is hoping to pinpoint a 13,000-year-old quarry that evidence from the early 2000s suggests is located on the church campus.

The primary task will be excavating 1×1 meter test units close to where a scraping tool and stone chippings were found in last year’s dig. For this part of the project, there is space for 20 volunteers per day. If you would like to participate, please sign up for all times you are available and would like to participate. Zac will attempt to accommodate your preferred schedule to the greatest extent possible, while giving as many volunteers as possible a chance to participate.

Excavation hours are 8:30AM-3:30PM, daily. Additional logistical information will be sent to registered participants. Sign up form: https://forms.gle/aQWysCKeuU5dWCSL7
