Summary
The Suttons Bay Anthropology Club returned to Beaver Island in late June 2004 for another archaeology field program. Forty-seven students and nine counselors camped at Bill Wagner Campground, explored possible future sites, and worked at locations where permission had already been obtained.
The report describes five crews using marked grids and dividing excavation work among diggers, sifters, baggers, recorders, and drawers. It also says the students were expected to restore each site after the work.
