Archaeologists working at the site want to thank the many people and organizations who have shown support. Several neighbors and visitors have dropped by to express their enthusiasm for the project and some individuals even delivered homemade baked goods! The Anderson Company has also been supportive by donating fill dirt, and other City staff keep things moving, like the heavy equipment operators from Transportation and Environmental Services. To all of them, Alexandria Archaeology sends a big thank you!
