mta needs help identifying chinese artifacts
About a year ago, I mentioned excavation during the construction of the Metro Gold Line Eastside Extension in Los Angeles' Boyle Heights, where the MTA uncovered human skeletal remains and artifacts. Historians believe that the diggers stumbled upon a long-lost Chinese potter's field, just ajacent to Evergreen Cemetery, which historically barred Chinese from its property a century ago. While most of the discoveries couldn't be identified, there were several burial bricks and headstones on which the deceased have been identified. Some were accompanied by human skeletal remains. The MTA is asking for help in identifying possible next-of-kin, and they've posted images of the remains and artifacts hoping to find some people out there with more information. It's all pretty fascinating, so check it out: Metro Gold Line Eastside Extension
