Battle of Franklin Trust CEO Eric Jacobson looked over a mound of turned earth Tuesday morning, just south of the Carter House. Below him two archaeologists hunkered on their knees close to the earth, turning the dirt carefully.

A few feet away a Civil War-era Minie ball bullet lay partially covered in dirt with a marker beside it.
