Project origin and goals
- The Schreiber Wood archaeological project was initiated for the ANT318H5 archaeological field school at UTM, with a focus on the cultural landscape created by the Schreiber family.
- One of the project's first goals was identifying the location of Mount Woodham, a house that was located on what is today part of the UTM campus.
