2017 Field Crew for Johnsonâ€™s Island Civil War Prison
Archaeological Field School, Heidelberg University, Ohio

: Jaime Graham, Field Supervisor

I am proud alum of Anthropology Program of Heidelberg University â€˜13, where I worked with Dr. Bush at Johnsonâ€™s Island for four long and exciting years. As a recent Masterâ€™s graduate, I am happy to be back and working with this yearâ€™s field school! My archaeological interests are in studying how the introduction of Christianity changed burial patterns in early medieval England. Long term, I plan to earn my PhD and work overseas excavating and caring for early cemetery sites.

: Caitlyn Baldwin

I am a student over at Tiffin University, studying in Criminal Justice: Forensic Science. I came to the Johnsonâ€™s Island site because I wanted to get experience and learn how archaeologists and anthropologists excavate a site and what kinds of equipment they use. I would like to do my masters and doctoral in Forensic Anthropology and Archaeology.

: Sarah Garner

I live in Phoenix, Arizona. I graduated from Arizona State University with a B.A. in Anthropology in 2015. I signed up for this course in order to gain practical experience in archaeology.

: Whitney Sachs

I am a recent graduate of California State University, Stanislaus. I was born and raised in California and became interested in archaeology during college. I am interested in the Johnsonâ€™s Island site because when I was about ten years old I was obsessed with the American Revolutionary and Civil Wars, so when I saw that there was going to be a field school dealing with the Civil War I knew that I had to be a part of it.

: Alisha Yoder

I am a history major with a minor in archaeology at Heidelberg University. The Civil War is one of my favorite wars to learn about and I am really excited about having the opportunity to be a part of something that helps bring those stories alive.
