IMAGE: Archeological Work at Burial Site
A photo of an excavation tent at the burial site. At center, a massive hole over fourteen feet deep, with an aluminum ladder leading down. Three individuals stand within the hole. The first person, stands near the ladder's base in the foreground wearing a gray shirt and denim jeans holding a clipboard. The other two individuals stand side by side in the hole's center. The person on the left wears a white sweater and light denim jeans, while the individual on the right wears a white zip up and dark blue denim jeans. The two individuals are peering at something together, in the individual on the right's hands. A historic stone wall runs side to side across the hole, approximately four feet high. In the background behind the two individuals is a wooden ramp, gradually descending from street level to the hole's floor. Behind the ramp is a tent composed of clear plastic and wooden beams.CAPTION: Archeological work at burial siteCREDIT: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chip East, Reuters, Corbis
