An archaeologist digs a well in
the basement of the Apothecary Shop
Between 1982 and 1989 Alexandria Archaeology conducted a series of excavations
in the cellar of the Stabler-Leadbeater
Apothecary Shop at 105-107 South Fairfax Street. City archaeologists and
volunteers excavated two brick-lined shafts, portions of the old earthen floor,
and half of a trash pit that pre-dated the brick buildings housing the Apothecary
Shop. The thousands of artifacts found at this site were analyzed in the Alexandria
Archaeology laboratory.
