We have passed our archeological assessment! I quote from our handsomely bound report, "the archeological survey and examination of sediments at Heron Lane did not result in the identification of any intact or diagnostic archeological resources." Most importantly, the archeologist "recommends the project be permitted to proceed." Yay!!!We got a nice, eleven page, spiral-bound copy of the report; replete with a beautiful color photograph of our home on the cover page. There is also a stunning color picture of a two foot deep 4x4 hole with a tape measure in it. A final picture shows the side of the house where the future addition will be. This last picture actually shows where the addition will be better than my picture does at the beginning of this blog (but I'm not going to change it.)
So now Buildings & Plans and three native tribes get to peruse the report. In the meantime, we will keep waiting.
By the way, I wasn't home when the assessment was being done, but I'm pretty sure it would have looked like the above picture. Indiana Jones and his little helper are using that flashlight to plumb the mirky depths of one of the 24 inch deep holes they dug. They are no doubt hoping that the Philosopher's Stone or the Treasure of the Knights' Templar will be down there - but alas, it's not to be. Keep searching Indy!
