Artifact of the Day
This tin-glazed earthenware bowl was recovered from the Blacksmith Shop area. We also recovered a large amount of tin-glaze from the Indian King Hotel area, probably from the demolition of an earlier tavern (see below).

I'm looking forward to seeing exactly how many vessels came out of that tin glaze feature!
ReplyDeleteDid you find any evidence that the blacksmith shop was ever used as a coach making facility such as described by Jim Gibb in his blog of 6/9/09?
