CCMNH's archaeology/history series, Digging into the Past presents a 
lecture on the latest investigation of the Wing Fort House in 
Sandwich. Archaeologists' original plan was designed to locate and 
investigate the 17th-18th century gardens that were believed to be 
located on the south side of the house. As work progressed, no traces 
of gardens were found but what did emerge was a portion of at least 
two previously unknown buildings that appear to have been constructed 
very early and were removed by the early 18th century. Added to this 
surprise was the fact that both were found to have been constructed 
using the earth fast technique- post-in-ground construction that is 
believed to have been used from the earliest days of Plymouth Colony. 
Join us for this fascinating lecture and discover more about their 
findings using ground penetrating radar or GPR!
