Unearthing Mobile: The I-10 Mobile River Bridge Archaeology Project

Archaeologists excavated 15 sites along the new I-10 Mobile River Bridge route from November 2021- June 2023. These sites span the entire history of Mobile Bay, ranging from Native American occupations from 2,000 years ago to the homes, businesses, and waterfront industries of the last 300 years. The Down the Bay Oral History Project, conducted by the McCall Library Oral History Team, includes over 100 interviews with community members to record a more recent story of the neighborhood. Together, these sources tell a more complete history of the Mobile Bay area.
