A construction site in Virginia has led to the discovery of not one, but two major pre-Revolutionary War archaeological finds. According to the Washington Post, construction crews excavating the site of the future Hotel Indigo in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, discovered the timbered foundation of a warehouse dating back to 1755. Archaeologists then found the partial hull of a 300-year-old ship on the same site, which is part of the city’s major redevelopment of the Potomac River waterfront.

John Carlyle, a Scottish immigrant, town trustee and major landowner, was tasked with building a warehouse on the Port Lumley sand flats, the Post reports, one of two spots where the deep­water channels of the Potomac River approached the city’s shoreline. - See more at: http://www.equipmentworld.com/construction-worker...
