A few years ago the Archaeological Survey of India started digging around in the Residency exposing in the process a sewer line and at the same time collecting odd pieces of china, wine bottles, the barely recognisable remains of a couple of bayonets etc. The pic here has what I was able to find during my visits. A piece of lead that could have been a musket ball, a piece of china (the place was strewn with shards of crockery) that had Lucknow on it, the neck of a bottle and a piece of iron probably from an exploded cannon ball.
