Archaeologist Craig Arnold (left) demonstrates how he uses a laser level receiver to measure the depth of a hole dug at the Historic Forks of the Wabash to Riverview Middle School eighth-grade students (left to right) Denver Hamilton, Jon Compton and Andrew Harris on Friday, Sept. 26. Arnold says the site, on the banks of the Wabash River, contains a lot of flint, or chert, chips and was a production site for various stone tools. The dig is part of a plan to construct a bridge from the site to Ehler Island.
