For the past five years, AXIS Research Inc., a registered non-profit organization, has been involved in the excavation and documentation of the Fort Shirley Site, located in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. Fieldwork has been conducted in conjunction with the Penn State University Archaeology Field School and has involved over 70 students and researchers. This archaeological site is significant to documenting early colonial life during the French and Indian War (or the larger conflict known as the Seven Years’ War), as well as the unique relationship between the provincial government of the Commonwealth with Native Americans from the Ohio Valley.
