Mystery Vessel
Late last week, the archaeologist uncovered 2 vessel pieces in the presbytery area. To date, this has been the largest artifact uncovered in our dig.

The archaeologist working on the feature continued to slowly, carefully, uncover the pieces.
Before long, other pieces of the same vessel began to emerge from the dirt.
Once all the pieces of the vessel were uncovered, the reconstruction began.
It is uncetain the origin and time period of the piece, though the vessel is believed to be of French design. The archaeology team will return the artifact to their lab for further analysis.
