At our recent Public Archaeology Day, CHCP offered the community a reminder of the long-forgotten San Jose Chinatown. Initially developed by Stanford faculty with the "Market Street Chinatown Archaeology Project", volunteers and PhD students conducted mock archaeological excavations, reconstruction, and identification of actual Market Street Chinatown material, so that youngsters and their families could learn about and touch a piece of Market Street Chinatown. The day included a concurrent workshop for Scouts to work towards earning the Archaeology Merit Badge. Our thanks to all who participated, including the Chinese American Abacus Association who helped with the Experimental Archaeology lesson.
