Archaeological digs at UNC's New East yield centuries-old relics


On a sunny morning in late April, a group of North Carolina faculty and students hunched down on the ground outside New East and sifted through the dirt for artifacts. A small white sign outside the building read: “Archaeological dig in progress.” The area outside New East is significant to UNC’s history as the home to one of campus’ first buildings. (UNC.edu)
