Might Actually Be Some Historical Treasures in the Stinking Gowanus Canal

 All that contamination in the Gowanus Canal may be hiding a treasure trove of archeological finds, according to an article in the Brooklyn Eagle.

Due to a requirement of the upcoming Superfund cleanup, the canal will soon receive a mandatory archaeological assessment, and who knows what might or might not be dredged up?

A list of opinions about what might be found at the bottom of the canal -- from mummies to guns -- appears at the end of the article (here).
