Uncovering history: Artifacts found at Assay Office

Earlier this year, renovations on Boise's historic Assay Office began.

However, as the construction crew broke ground, they discovered they were digging up more than just dirt. Artifacts were buried around the building, some dating back more than 100 years.

Archeologist Chris Shaver and outreach historian Dan Everhart, both with the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this exciting discovery.
