Thanks!

Thanks!It has been exciting to receive support towards our Bull Brook project. Thank you to everyone who has backed us. Backers have already provided sufficient support to cover all the costs of our proposed project (the geophysics survey) except the radiocarbon dating. Luckily here we now have some additional support because we are able to commit some non-committed research money towards this particular cost item. The project is therefore fully funded now and Tommy and Sturt look forward to carrying out the fieldwork and research. We will keep you updated on the work as we do it and of course on the results that we find. Thanks again,
Sturt and Tommy

When might we expect to see an interim report of your findings?

With geophysical techniques, we will search for Paleo-Indian archaeological features around the famed Bull Brook site. Though recognized among the largest and oldest Paleo-Indian sites the U.S. (ca. 12,000 years old), the surrounding areas have not been fully investigated. We presently don't know how large Bull Brook really was. We will attempt to answer this question, and additionally seek to clarify the site's age, which is also a point of contention.
