A few years back excavators turned up something both dark and unexpected, the skeleton of a young child buried under a barracks floor in the 3rd century AD. A coroner's inquest deemed it "homicide by person or persons unknown." I missed excavating the spot myself by roughly 10 feet and three weeks.
Every time I come to dig I always leave a few flowers on the spot. Given a tragic event in my home town it has a bit of extra poignancy this year.
