First Look Below the Sod

Filed under: Fieldwork, Hamline History — Brian @ 8:42 pm and



Stripping sod at the 1900 Church siteToday we started the Hamline Methodist Church excavation. We managed to strip the sod from our first trench in between rain showers this afternoon.

There’s a lot of gravel and rock immediately below the sod layer. We also noted a few shards of bottle glass and a lot of worms. The weather report for Thursday looks decent – so with a little luck we should make good progress.

Saturday (Sept. 22nd) from 9 AM until 3 PM is our open dig for the Hamline neighborhood. Everyone is encouraged to stop by to see what we’re finding. You can even help dig or screen if you don’t mind getting muddy.
