Uncovering Old St. Mary's City

Since the 1970's, archaeologists have sifted through the debris of St. Mary's City, the capital of colonial Maryland. What have they learned from the bits of pottery and brick they've discovered? We ask Historic St. Mary's City's Chief Archeologist Travis Parno and ----field school---- assistant Sarah McCoy . Then, Director of Research Henry Miller shares the mystery of three lead coffins discovered while excavating a chapel in 1990.
