We need a little break from the 18th century, so let's take a journey back in time to the early 20th.

At the 2015 excavation of the former Dorchester Industrial School for Girls, City of Boston archaeologists & volunteers came across something cool, which we've never really shown off before. (1/6)

We are just about at our maximum depth of 4 feet (OSHA rule) and are starting to find larger stone deposits that may be a wall or footing. We’re hoping we’ve (finally) reached the 18th century! #digBOS #digCTown #digBH250 #Boston250 #digBoston250 #dig250 #BOBH250 #BH250
