In 2015, students first conducted archaeological research and fieldwork – surveys and excavations – at the former location of the Carleton Women’s League Cabin (WLC). In 2024, students again returned to the site to conduct further investigations.
The WLC was built in the Lower Arb in the late 1930’s, “rediscovered” in 1975, and demolished in 1998.
This website presents the entirety of the work carried out by the 2015 and 2024 classes at the WLC. This work included a variety of archaeological fieldwork (mapping, survey, test pits, excavation, lab analysis, and curation), which was presented by the students in weekly lab reports (linked below). Finally, all of the students’ final projects are also included on this website (again, linked below).
