Asbury Park PressSun. July 13, 1980 C3 The Week in Review Group digs up some good dirt iOcean County From page CI Do not lift it out of place. It has been sitting there for thousands of years a few more minutes won't matter." All the items found at Turkey Swamp the property of the parks system and the county hopes to construct a permanent building to house the artifacts. Tours of the dig, sponsored by the parks system, will be held several times a week throughout the summer. The study of prehistoric people once attracted few persons, but now has large following among all ages, according to Edward Lenik, president of the Archaeology Society of New Jersey.

THERE ARE 400 members in the state society. Lenik said chapters across the state are growing as never before. The Monmouth County chapter, he said, is growing the fastest. It is largely due to the artifacts uncovered at Turkey Swamp. "People are becoming more preservation conscious," Lenik said.

He said even more important than recovering artifacts is recording information about how the people lived and the problems they had That's why archaeologists fear vandalism. The site at Turkey Swamp was vandalized several times last winter. "It is a non-renewable resource," Lenik said. "Once the land is destroyed it is gone for good. You only get one chance to remove the soil.

"The museums are full of relics," he said. "We really don't need any more relics." By sifting the soil and testing it they can determine the micro-botanical remains of seeds and learn the diet and climate of the period. At an archaeological site, Cavallo said, he looks at the entire environmental setting. "WE LOOK at the culture in the context of the environment," he said. "The object is to explain and examine why the culture changes through time and find out why one race survived and one doesn't." An archaeologist's work is very tedious.

With fondue sticks, dental picks, paint brushes and mason's trowels they uncover what has been buried for thousands of years. Every stage of the work is recorded on paper. A shovel is one piece of equipment rarely used and the students and volunteers at Cavallo's dig are learning this. "Your first impluse is to make contact," he said. "But you must not disturb anything.

of the society's journal, said he is convinced there is a ''wealth of cultural material" to be discovered in Ocean County but there has been no organized excavation becuse of lack of funds. "There is very little involvement by moneyed interest because there is no reward for them," Mounier said. Private collections of arrowheads, some of them dating to 500 B.C., are on display at the Ocean County Historical Museum, Toms River. All the items were found in Ocean County and many were discovered along the banks of the Metedeconk River, according to Patricia Burke, curator of the museum. Cavallo used his own funds when he started work at the Monmouth County dig.

Since then, the Monmouth County Parks and Recreation Commission has contributed some funding. fa6es fine LACEY TOWNSHIP U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspectors pro-, posed a fine of $21,000 for the Jersey Central Power Light Co.
