Hello everyone! My name is
Hailey, I’m a senior at WMU majoring in anthropology, and I have been working
as an independent study student under Dr. Nassaney this semester. My primary
task for the past several months has been coordinating the construction of the
Fort St. Joseph Archaeological Project’s annual report. The annual report is,
in essence, a summary of all the work that has been done in the past year. The report will feature sections about the
2017 field season, this year’s lab procedures and activities, the public
education and outreach events that the Project has organized throughout 2017,
and the theme of the annual Archaeology Open House – community partnerships. The
annual report is the Project’s chance to make sure that the public, and the
community partners who make the archaeology possible, are up to date on the
work being done and the most recent findings.

2017 has been a busy year for
the Project. Several new features were found in the 2017 field season,
community partners continued to support the Project, and many people learned
about the history of Fort St. Joseph via the social media and public outreach
efforts undertaken this year. The annual report will make it clear what exactly
the Project has been up to for the past year and leave readers with a better
idea of what the future may hold for archaeology at Fort St. Joseph. Stay tuned
for the annual report! It will be posted on the Fort St. Joseph Archaeological
Project’s website: https://wmich.edu/fortstjoseph
