As modern construction work goes on beneath the streets of lower Manhattan, a nine-person archaeology team from Brooklyn follows behind, cataloging the history that's unearthed along the way. The company is Chrysalis Archaeology, and over the last 13 years, they have found such relics as a button from the Revolutionary War to "a wooden well ring—which is the form they used for the base of the well—that we were able to date, using tree-ring dating, to 1718." Gizmodo has more details about the subterranean job. [Gizmodo]
