Digging The Tea

From member station W-B-U-R, NPR's Tovia Smith reports that as excavations continue on Boston's Harbor Tunnel project, archeologists are nearing the place where colonists dumped tea into the harbor 222 years ago. They hold out a chance that they may find the wooden tea crates still in place. The dumping site of the tea crates was in deep waters two centuries ago but today it's solid landfill.
