Veterans help with archaeological dig at Fort Ligonier

Greg Adamson, background, of Dayton, Va., uses a sifter to search soil for artifacts while Tim Smith of Kittanning, right, a U.S Air Force veteran of 24 years and member with Team Rubicon, digs through mapped trenches with Kyle Emerick, 12, left, of Midland, Pa., during an archaeological excavation of Fort Ligonier’s east bastion on Saturday, Aug. 3, 2019

A weekend archaeological dig at Fort Ligonier did not find any evidence of an artillery battery in the eastern end of the French and Indian War-era fort, but it gave veterans an opportunity to search for some history from a conflict centuries ago.
