Ive heard they are planning to rebuild the chapel where they found the three lead coffins. How do they know what to do?
There certainly aren’t any building plans or drawings. Instead, the builders are using drawings created by archaeologists and historians. During their digs, archaeologists uncovered the chapel’s foundation, or underground supports that hold up a building. This gave them the shape of the building and its general size. Using this and other clues, like pieces of imported stone floor and roof tiles, the researchers came up with a rough sketch of the building. Artists and architects refined the sketches, and it is from these plans that the new church is built. Researchers also studied the bricks from the foundation. Colonists were able to make bricks by combining clay with broken oyster shells. Modern researchers still haven’t been able to exactly recreate these unique bricks. But they have created some close (and sturdier) bricks of their own using the same methods the colonists used. The new chapel is also being built with the same bricklaying and construction methods used by early Maryla
