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 [log in to unmask] Thanks in advance for any and all help!
