Potsherds Under Griffin Street

One of those speaks-a-1000-words pictures is in today's New Mexican: two potsherds resting on someone's palm. The whole story is interesting (for one thing, it tells us what they found during the excavations last fall across the parking lot that Main Library employees use behind Sweeney Convention Center), but just those two decorated bits of pot whisper, whisper about those who lived here before us, their traces lingering under our feet.
