Never been to NH, but have heard of Keane re. quirky political things that have occurred likely since your departure. One "notable" neo-resident recently got his 15 minutes over Charlottesville. Anyway: Sounds to me like things were done right here. Not only was history preserved, expanded, but Keane residents had a graphic explanation of why their HS was delayed, learned something about their past, perhaps gained a new respect for its earlier inhabitants. Perhaps an exhibit on the settlement at a local museum or historical society? When local history is taught at that school, window-gazers will snap to the words, "beneath our very feet!" Some speculative questions: Were there more artifacts dug up, measured, photographed, logged, than can usefully be displayed? What became of them? If visitors to the presentations, to a museum, were offered the chance to buy them informatively packaged, would they sell? Could the funds thus raised contribute significantly to funding future digs? Would the benefits of the original excavation be magnified, echoed for a longer time, a wider reach than otherwise? Are people who are exposed to presentations and museum displays more likely to call a college or state archaeology dept. when they find things farming, hiking, metal-detecting? More likely to take up archaeology themselves? More likely to support funding of digs? Would owning a provenanced artifact have similar effects?
