Hello! Are you talking about the internship with the Boonshoft museum in Dayton, ohio? If so, I am also doing that internship! I would check out the Boonshoft Museum webpage under archaeology. They have a section on the Fort Ancient culture and the nearby Sunwatch village site that is very similar to the site we will be digging!

haha awesome, yeah i am that internship. I already read through all of that pretty much and saw some papers that william kennedy published with the historical society's website. well its nice to meet you and i guess well be seeing each other fairly soon.
