Louisbourg Day1

It is my 6 or 7 year at Louisbourg I haven't figured that out yet.  This year I'm volunteering.  The public program has been cancelled.  They have their 300 years celebration underway and it was a beautiful cool day in Louisbourg.  The Archeology team has been working out on Rochefort Point my favorite place to dig.  It's quiet, all you can hear sometimes is the scraping of your trowel against the earth and the surf hitting the shore.  Now that's a beautiful sound.  The Carrerot Property c.1720-1745 is the particular spot.  The house's double hearth can be seen.  It was also used as a burial site after 1745.  So some poor souls still remain there.  An exploratory trench was also opened up to try and find a stable area.  There is a period drawing of the property, which shows these features.  There was a lot of cool equipment being used Ground penetrating radar etc.  I could see out in the harbour the underwater team investigating.  In spite of all these distractions I was able to get some digging done.  Here are some shots...

The House with the Large fence is where we are concentrating.
