Book excerpt: Author's introduction: "In January 2017, my interest in incorporating fieldwork as a part of a final project in Historical Archaeology coincided with the desire of the Sorrel-Weed House staff to investigate the cause of a depression in the floor of what the staff identifies as their carriage house basement. The Sorrel-Weed House, a privately owned Greek Revival mansion that is a prominent entity in Savannah's ghost tour industry, had just recently approached Laura Seifert, Co-Director of Digging Savannah and my instructor at Armstrong State University, about undertaking this as an archaeological study. Consequently, after submitting a proposal in early January, we were given permission by the Sorrel-Weed House to begin excavations in the basement of the carriage house to uncover the source of the depression in the floor. In total, our study spanned two semesters, and was conducted in spring 2017 and fall 2017".
