BPS members were invited to participate in a salvage operation at Ft. Tombecbe, where debris and artifacts were falling into the river and being lost to science.  A number of BPS members showed up to assist Dr. Dumas.  As buckets of debris were funneled down, various members took turns screening to remove the worst of the silt/dirt.  The material left in the screens was taken to the lab for a more detailed examination.

The annual Science Teacher Workshop was conducted by the University of West Alabama, and the Geological Survey of Alabama.  Volunteer assistance was provided by members of BPS.
