BURIAL HILL DIG The Old Colony Memorial (plymouth.wickedlocal.com) had an interesting story about the the work at Plymouth.  If the link goes down, you can see a printed version here.  It is perhaps one of the most detailed stories on the work.   The Author, Frank Mand, is an interesting guy.  He has been taking a photo around Plymouth at sunrise for the last year.
