Extensive work has been happening to remove several features under Mead’s Tavern porch, one being a circular hole that hasn’t been identified yet as the function. Also, outside the east door, there have been a good number of earlier artifacts found. @hurtandproffitt #NewLondonVA

In lieu of the tragedy of the #NotreDameFire talks of preservation and reconstruction have already begun with millions in donations already promised. Preservation efforts will have to look to unusual sources in order to accurately reconstruct. #DigitalHistory #Preservation

Assassins's Creed: Unity's virtual recreation of Notre Dame has just become an important piece of historical preservation.

The layer of 20th-century deposit covering the site was removed in the Mead's Tavern porch excavation this week. This layer contained a mixture of artifacts including modern plastic and a large cent dated to 1798. These photos highlight how much has been excavated this month!
