In the process of digging a burrow for herself, she has been excavating artifacts from my backyard on the Southeast side of Bernal Hill. I began sifting through the dirt she brought up, and found shattered glass, nails, pottery shards, small toys, beer cans and many, many bones.



In the 1910’s, my entire block was a plant nursery, composed of a series of greenhouses and a large chicken coop. The large amount of shattered window glass I found must be left from the demolition of those greenhouses. The bones are mostly leftover from household garbage. The majority appear to be from chickens, but larger, butchered bones were also found, along with oyster shells, fish bones and a piece of a crab’s claw.
