D.C. archaeologists are looking for artifacts related to Yarrow Mamout, including traces of his house and his remains. Test pits dug so far have revealed some artifacts, but nothing related to Yarrow's time. Since earth has been moved over time, the team cannot make much progress digging by hand. They require digging equipment and remote sensing to get a better appreciation of what is beneath the overlay. This needed work is not included in the city budget for the project, and time is short.
The estimated amount the archaeologists need right now is at least $7,000. Your support at this critical juncture could make all the difference to the success of this project. The DC Preservation League, a 501(c)3 organization, is facilitating the fundraising and will pay the equipment contractors, and for any needed supplies.
Your tax-free donation can be made in two ways:
By credit card:
By check: (Please ref: "Yarrow Mamout Archaeology")

The archaeologists are available for a "fence talk" at 10:15 am and 1:45 pm on days when they are working onsite. Please plan to stop by and learn more.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
