Students from Rice University’s Archaeological Field Techniques Class will be excavating at the Varner-Hogg Plantation Picnic Loop this Spring! The class is focusing their efforts on the structures discovered and documented during the Summer 2023 drought. The excavations allow students to learn what archeology is really like while still being able to keep a normal college semester. Visitors can check on their progress, ask questions, and learn about archaeology on site during these dates:
February 1 & 2
February 8 & 9
February 22 & 23
March 1 & 2
