Investigating French and Indian War Forts
In the mid 1700s, England and France were fighting for control of a vast section of North America. Colonial armies, who were allied with England, and settlers determined to protect themselves, built a series of forts that extended from Maine to North Carolina. Having excavated several of these forts, archaeologists are learning about the differences between the military and civilian structures. Stephen McBride consults a map of the Fort Ashby site while his wife, Kim, excavates a bastion.
