Ken Stuck is an archaeologist with VDOT. In a video posted by VDOT, he says they conduct archaeological surveys before large projects to see if any artifacts turn up.
When they started surveying the I-64/I-264 Interchange project, they found artifacts from the 18th century!
Archaeologists from the College of William and Mary have also been working at the site and have helped pull almost 20,000 artifacts from the ground.
