Abstract
For my Senior Honors Thesis, I chose to surface collect a historic farmhouse site located on my family's farm and create a museum display using the artifacts from the assemblage. This procedure allowed me to become familiar with the entire archaeological process, from designing a research project to interpreting the results to the public. In this paper, I specify the methodology used in conducting research both in the field and in the laboratory. I also detail the results of my investigation as presented in the exhibit and explore avenues for additional research.
