Buried in the Terroir...

Two archeologists stopped by today to share some of the (over 100!) artifacts they found on a preliminary dig they began today down the road from the winery. Among the few examples they brought, pictured below, were Native American ground stone, milk glass from sometime around the 1930s, a piece of thin glass lantern, and another small shard of glass. (So cool of them to share it.) Talk about rich terroir!

All of this prompted some inquisition as to who these pieces of history might have belonged to, and who helped it flourish from the time this little city came to be in the late 1800s.  (By 1920, the town had a whopping 647 residents and today it is fast approaching 3,000.) A lot of possibilities nestled in there and a lot of lingering questions about what's been left behind. The dig continues tomorrow!
