Summary
In the spring of 2012 and 2013, two undergraduate anthropological research methods courses from St. Mary’s College of Maryland undertook preliminary archaeological survey at Cremona Estate. The large property in southern Maryland was a part of the land grant to the Ashcom family in the 1640s, later renamed Cremona by subsequent owner William Thomas in 1819. Full excavation followed in the summer of 2013 based upon the results of these initial surveys. From its inception, the archaeological survey and excavation at Cremona Estate was driven by student developed projects and research guided by Dr. Liza Gijanto. This paper will offer an exploration of the value of intensive student involvement in research design and development as well as a discussion of preliminary site findings.
