I've been told that there is an article in this month's Archaeology magazine about the Potters Field cemetery excavation in Secaucus, NJ. I've been trying to track down a copy of the magazine locally (thus far without any success). When I do, I'll scan in the article and post it here.

I participated in this project for 7 months back in 2003. I had taken part in another cemetery excavation in Delaware before the Potters Field project, so I had an idea of what to expect. Still, digging up corpses is a taboo in our society for a reason. In many ways, it was a tough project to be on. However, I'm glad I did it, as I met a number of good friends during that time.

If you'd like to read about it, my former employer has a series of web pages about the Potters Field project at the following site: http://www.culturalresourcegroup.com/projects/secaucus1.htm
