Introduction
The Albemarle Row House II site (18BC49) is an early 19th to late 20th-century
brick row house. The building stood
at 46 Albemarle Street. The
administration building for the Baltimore City Life Museums later encompassed
the area closest to the street, and the back yard of the site was preserved
under a brick-paved courtyard.
Archaeological Investigations
This site consists of the basement and backyard of a typical Baltimore row
house, including a partial brick basement floor, sewer pipe, backyard fill,
wood-lined pit, French drain, and row house brick and stone foundations. A large amount of kiln furniture was
found at this site. Floral and
faunal analyses were performed, and wood samples were taken and identified.
Archeobotanical Studies
Floral and faunal analyses were performed by Cheryl A. Holt. Wood identification was performed by
the Center for Wood Anatomy Research, U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, in
Madison, WI. Results of the analyses
are not locatable at this time, and the data s are not yet integrated into the
Maryland Archeobotanical Database.
