Comments from sender: Heres a link to a great article about portions of a historic boardwalk discovered 38 feet below surface Great example of finding artifacts where least expected as well as the advantages of having an archaeological monitor onsite during construction! Hope

 Rail tunnel dig yields 1880s Seattle sidewalk

 A Rainier Beer bottle. A kitschy ceramic cup and a silver spoon. Thirty-one men's, women's and children's shoes. No one would be shocked to find these things in any Seattle family's basement. But it's a little more surprising to find them packed under 38 feet of dirt downtown.
