Updates from the field, June 9, 1999

	Dave Boyd and Kevin Nolan recovered an artillery shell fragment exhibiting both the iron shell and lead sabot parts of the cannon projectile
	In the late morning, survey activities were carried out in the bottom north of Civil War-era Portland. This house is located on the first terrace above the old town.
	No Civil War era artifacts were found between the house and the Old Portland Road.
	East of the abandoned house, toward St. Route 124 a few pistol and Minie balls and an artillery shell fragment were recovered.
	The blistering heat produced several spectacular dust devils in the plowed fields across the highway. The largest, about one quarter-mile from our survey area, lifted dust over 100 meters into the air. After a long day with little shade, the hotel pool was a welcome relief.
