Our joint project with the City of Boston Archaeology Program has been getting a lot of press. You can see some of the articles using a google news search. One of the more in depth articles is by Sylvia Cunningham for NBCBLK. Joe Bagley, the City Archaeologist, has been posting many pictures on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
We have now finished the geophysical portion of the project. Excavations, will begin next week. We will post some of the results soon.
