Archaeologists expected the land surrounding Province House in downtown Halifax to be fertile ground for finding artifacts, but they never expected to uncover an underground stone vault roughly the size of a living room. The structure was discovered Aug. 7 during part of the work to remodel the grounds surrounding the Nova Scotia legislature. MacIntyre works on the grounds of Province House last July. She said the chamber discovered underground is 'a pretty big room and quite deep from what we could tell.' Archaeologists try to get a closer look at a well discovered on the grounds of Province House.
