Hello All:

As part of our museum's upcoming expansion, we are planning to install 2
outdoor archaeology pits.  Currently, we are planning permanent, concrete
pits with trap doors.  We have some ideas about covering the closed trap
door with signage, and also having signage on the underside of the door,
to be viewed when the pit is in use.

I'm hoping for some input from members of the list re: archaeology pits at
your facility, or other good ones that you have seen.  What works and what
doesn't?  If you could install them over again, what would you do
differently?  We would also be interested in seeing any images that you
might have of your archaeology pits, to better guide our planning.  In
particular, if you know of any good examples of archaeology pits within a
day's drive of central Texas, we would love to hear about them so that we
might plan a visit! Please feel free to email me directly at

Thanks in advance for any and all help!
