This one has 7 dots, a crest on the front and the back, and some writing around the edge that we can't read. Feel free to give it a shot in the comments!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Archaeology Month open house last Friday! We had a great time meeting local archaeology enthusiasts and sharing our research with you all!

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

Just found a local 1924 Hood milk bottle while excavating through upper fills of a possible fountain feature

We have uncovered what turned out to be a fairly large oval brick feature that locals say was a fountain dating to the time before the church was built. If that’s the case, it is a rare early 19th century part of the Dexter-Bridge garden

Photo from above of a rectangular hole in the ground with brown dirt vans north arrow visible

Photo of a hand holding a white ceramic with blue lines

Can you spot the feature?
We have found a 4-meter (so far) curved sandy feature. We’re hoping it is a path from the early-19th-century Dexter-Bridge gardens. Also early 19th century ceramic
