Bob Cromwell in lower pit Jacqui Cheung in pit
National Park Service archaeologists have begun their excavation of English Camp's Officers' Hill stairway. The work has been undertaken to make the stairway safer for staff and visitors. From top, clockwise, a panorama of the crew working with the formal garden in the background; Jacqui Cheung excavates a pit revealing mortar and stones set by the Royal Marines; while Bob Cromwell uncovers the remnants of wooden treads on a lower portion of the trail. Below, Cromwell (left) and Doug Wilson carefully remove layers of earth and clam shells from wooden treads set by NPS trail crews more than 20 years ago. NPS Photos by Mike Vouri
