This grant supports a systematic, non-invasive metal detector survey of a 45-acre parcel at FOUN, focusing on the 1862 1st Colorado encampment. The project aims to identify, plot, and map surviving archaeological features such as tent depressions, cooking hearths, and latrines. This survey will provide crucial information on daily life and behavior among Civil War volunteer infantry regiments. Scholars can use the findings to assess the degree to which this particular regiment conformed to, or deviated from, established military regulations for camp design, thereby informing discussions about their professionalism and discipline.

| Description: |
The proposed project is a systematic, non-invasive metal detector survey of a 45-acre parcel at FOUN situated immediately southwest and southeast of the 1861-1863 FOUN Second Fort, the area where the 1st Colorado allegedly camped for 84 days in 1862. The survey will aim to identify, plot, and map the surviving physical remnants of the 1st Colorado encampment. Surviving physical remnants of the camp likely include such archeological features as tent depressions, cooking hearths, and latrines.
The metal detector survey of the 1862 1st Colorado encampment will provide scholars crucial information about daily life and behavior among volunteer infantry regiments during the Civil War. Regular army officers (Union and Confederate) frequently criticized volunteer infantry regiments, complaining about their unprofessionalism and lack of military discipline. By examining the physical layout of the FOUNs 1862 1st Colorado encampment, scholars will be able to gauge the degree to which one particular volunteer regiment actually conformed to (or strayed from) established military regulations dictating camp design. |
