Sutphin says treasures are buried under the city's brownstone neighborhoods.
Amanda Sutphin is not accustomed to being in the limelight. As the chief archaeologist for the city of New York, her days typically involve lots of research, meetings, looking at maps, examining excavation plans and more research. But for the department of archaeology, these are not typical days. Early last month, Sutphin was among the city and MTA officials to announce the discovery of a wall, dating to at least the 18th century, unearthed by workers building the new South Ferry subway station in Battery Park.
Much of the article has to do with the recent wall discovered in Battery Park.
