- Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, most people think of Ground Zero as a place that was completely cleaned up and rebuilt. But for years after the attacks, archaeologists worked diligently to uncover human remains and other artifacts that the initial cleanup effort left behind. New Jersey-based archaeologist Scott Warnasch led the team that ultimately discovered more than 2,000 remains throughout lower Manhattan during the NYC Medical Examiner’s office’s recovery operation that started in 2006. The historic effort proved that in mass-fatality disasters, archaeology isn't just important–it can be crucial.
