Projects
Recent project has been the development of the “Roanoke River-Smith Mtn Lake”-(RRSML) Research account at the National Bank of Blacksburg to help fund research along the Roanoke River Drainage and at the ASV’s excavation and survey at Smith Mtn Lake. First grant was $300 paid to Smithsonian Archeologist Joe Gingrich to do blood residue analysis of lithic diagnostics from site 44Py152.

Goals
To work with the public to engage more young people in archeology, to work with assisting public and contract archeologists in their research efforts and to work closer with the academic elements at Va. Tech and Radford University. To work in bringing the ASV back to the people in a more centralized center.
