There's so little follow-up to find that I had to email Pre-Construct Archaeology for updates. (Still waiting for the details.)

I don't know if the Museum of London got the rest of the 1100+ collection of artifacts, though. The vessels went on display at the museum the winter of 07-08 right after the find, but as far as I've been able to ascertain, they and the rest of the artifacts have been out of public view since then. I don't even know if the site itself is viewable, or if the structural remains were kept in place. I do know the Drapers Company built a new tower on the property, but I can't imagine they'd be allowed to fill the remains with concrete footings or something tragic like that. I've got a couple of emails out to people asking for more news. I'll keep you posted on what I find out.
