USIThe University of Southern Indiana is conducting an archaeological field school through June 8 in New Harmony, Indiana. Michael Strezewski, assistant professor of anthropology, and his students are continuing the excavation of the Harmonist kiln site, located at the corner of North and West streets. At this location, Harmonist potter Christoph Weber manufactured redware pottery for the Harmonists and for sale to the public through the Harmonist store. The kiln was in operation from 1815 to 1824. USI has been investigating the Harmonist kiln site since 2009. About a dozen students will be working at the site, which is open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except on Memorial Day.
