Colony of Avalon Archaeological Site - Newfounland (GPS 47.0228, -52.879)

Step back in time to 1621 and visit an Archaeological Dig in Ferryland, NF.

 
Below is a well - it was told through the generations that
there was a well into which a child had fallen and had died- afterwhich it was covered over.
A local 'older gentlemen' told the Archaeologist were he
believed (from stories old) the well to be. 
It was found after just 3 test holes were dug.
Lisa - our kitchen guide - asked us to look at this
and to figure out how to drink of this without
spilling the contents.  We figured it out :)
Below is Lisa.
