Excavating the Sutler’s House: Artifacts<br />

of the British Armies in Fort Edward<br />

and Lake George, by David R. Starbuck,<br />

university Press of New England, 2010,<br />

118 pages. pages<br />

Before any Declaration<br />

of Independence, there<br />

were British settlers<br />

fighting not against<br />

Britain’s royal government<br />

but for it against<br />

the French in the New<br />

World. The British set<br />

up camp on Lake<br />

George and Lake Champlain, and one New<br />

Hampshire anthropologist h<strong>as</strong> made it his<br />

job to dig into those sites.<br />

David Starbuck is <strong>as</strong>sociate professor of<br />

anthropology and sociology at Plymouth<br />

State University. He previously wrote The<br />

Archeology of New Hampshire: Exploring<br />

10,000 Years in the Granite State. Now<br />

with Excavating the Sutler’s House he documents<br />

the findings of his team (and earlier<br />

archeologists) at a handful of sites in northern<br />

New York state, particularly at a sutler’s<br />

house in Fort Edward. A sutler w<strong>as</strong> a merchant<br />

who set up shop near a military camp<br />

and sold goods to soldiers.<br />

The sutler’s house proved to be a tre<strong>as</strong>ure<br />

trove of artifacts in a region that includes<br />

“some of the most significant eighteenthcentury<br />

military sites in the United States.”<br />

This book, slim and unimposing, includes<br />

a list of artifacts recovered there, and it’s<br />

flush with photos showing the items up<br />

close. Laid out before you are the soldiers’<br />

wine bottles, the dishes they ate with, the<br />

knives they used, the coins from their pockets,<br />

their keys and padlocks, combs and<br />

pipes. There’s a mostly intact sundial and<br />

comp<strong>as</strong>s that w<strong>as</strong> made in the 1730s.<br />

Starbuck also shows and tells us about<br />

the excavation itself, which is <strong>as</strong> enlightening<br />

and interesting <strong>as</strong> the history. The<br />

process of discovery, of piecing together<br />

<strong>this</strong> building’s life story, is an adventure in<br />

its own right.<br />

For context, and because it’s yet another<br />

informative part of the historical record,<br />

Starbuck provides quotes from the diary of<br />

Jabez Fitch Jr., who served in Fort Edward<br />

in 1757 and ’58. One entry mentions that the<br />

soldiers made chocolate the previous night.<br />

“The sutlers probably sold a great deal of<br />

hot chocolate, especially in the mornings,<br />

and it would have been just <strong>as</strong> popular <strong>as</strong><br />

coffee,” Sutler says.<br />
