The last week of the 2007 Field School was spent at the Delaware Town area. Identifying the location of the ambush upon Sigel's troops as they retreated from the Battle of Wilson's Creek was the primary investigation goal. Metal detecting and shovel tests were conducted over a large area to locate artifacts that would identify the area of the ambush. This will also provide information that will help locate the old roads in the area. The data has yet to be analyzed. We are looking forward to Dr. Jones interpretation of the research.
