| Site Notes: |
Excavations on this site began in 2002 and continue through present as part of the Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum Public Archaeology program, and the park's RITES Trail development. Not all proveniences have been cataloged and/or entered into the database. As of April 2016, the total artifact count for this site exceeded 4 million; however, this count includes vast quantities of brick and oyster shell. Artifact count totals have been given where possible. Counts have been combined for postholes and molds, and postholes/molds with replacement episodes, as long as they have the same overall feature number.
The following macrofeatures are used to denote known and suspected buildings on the site:
Main House- remaining part of brick and mortar foundation wall for manor house
Kitchen- Kitchen building
Laundry- building believed to have possibly been utilized as a laundry with a drain
Storehouse- ~21' square building with a full cellar with bricked cellar floor and bulkhead entrance
Plastered building- building of unknown purpose with cellar filled with plaster and other debris. Only plastered building on site beside main house.
Stable- the only known 18th century stable in Maryland
Quarters 1- may be referred to in notes as "unknown building", probable slave quarter(s)
Quarters 2- cluster of features probably related to one or more (or a series of) slave quarter buildings
UID Outbuilding- a cluster of features west of the laundry building related to a UID building
Pollen samples are small soil samples collected from "sealed" contexts, such as from under a larger artifact in a feature, or the contents of a complete pipe bowl. |
