Crown Point State Historic Site (Saratoga/Capital District)

Crown Point State Historic Site is seeking volunteers to assist with an archaeological excavation on the site grounds. Volunteers will be excavating earthen mounds that remain from a previous project conducted in the 1960s. The mounds contain soil removed from areas around the 18th century fortifications and were never processed or sifted for artifacts. Participants can expect to dig through, sift, and process material culture and artifacts left behind by the soldiers and civilians who lived at Crown Point in the mid-1700s. No previous archaeological experience is necessary. Volunteers will be trained in archaeological techniques on-site and can expect a moderate amount of physical labor including digging, lifting, and carrying. Interested volunteers can contact the historic site at (518) 597-4666.

Call to Register: (518) 597-4666
