An excellent overview of the French and Indian war period fort, Fort Willam Henry in Lake George, NY. The author details archaeology efforts that he has lead at the fort and their results. Extremely informative with numerous pictures (of artifacts and of digs). A very easy and worthwhile read for anyone with an interest in the history of the Lake George area and the French and Indian War. Highly recommended!
Excavating the Sutlers' House: Artifacts of the British Armies in Fort Edward and Lake George by David R. Starbuck
Interesting book, but it did more listing what was found then it did adding history about what was found. I enjoyed the information as it was local and I know the places, but would like to have had more historical detail intertwined with the data.
Excellent review of the dig efforts at Rogers Island.
