Archaeology of Early Chinese and Japanese San José

Archaeologist excavating

ASC archaeologists conducted a test excavation from the 11th to 17th March 2008 to expose selected areas of Heinlenville and early Japantown. The associated excavation blog allowed the community to follow our progress and view the excavation from the perspective of archaeologists, students, volunteers, and a local historian. Though the test excavation is long over, analysis of the artifacts recovered during the excavation continues. To read the excavation blog and an update from the Lab, follow the link below.
