Plymouth Burial Hill 3D view of Excavation Unit 3

| 0 comments

The wall at the bottom of this unit is probably associated with one of the stable structures seen in the old map of burial hill and described in a previous post on this blogBurial_Hill_EU3Doug Bolender has created a 3D PDF that you can download and move around.  The file will not work in the web browser (it will just be a blank page).  You have to download it to your machine, and open it in a new version of Acrobat and allow it to run.    Once up and running you can look down into the buckets, as well as the excavation.
