Archaeological dig of Montreal`s old parliament

I was reading this morning that there's a team of archaeologists busy sifting through the remains of the Parliament of Canada that was in Montreal for a couple of years in the 1800's before eventually moving to Ottawa. This particular parliament building was burned to the ground by some angry rioting anglophones on April 25th, 1849, while members of the Legislative Assembly were sitting in session.
