We are doing a short, 3 week project at Gore Place this summer, a historic property in Waltham, Massachusetts, where we have done a number of previous seasons of research on the formal and agricultural landscape, including excavating the remains of an early 19th-century greenhouse. During our first week and a half, we have been following up on earlier work in the drive circle. Yesterday, we started exploratory work in a totally new area, against the historic house. We are looking for evidence of cellar and ground floor entrances that no longer exist, but since it is a new area, do not know what to expect!
