large number of artifacts that span most of the nineteenth century. The artifacts found inLevel 4 beneath Structure 2 mostly date to the early nineteenth century.Level 4aLevel 4a was a thin, compact layer of yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) silty clay loam thatoccurred near the inside edge of the Structure 2 foundation in Sq. 110R100. It is associatedwith the digging and re-filling of the builder’s trench associated with Structure 2.Level 4bLevel 4b also is associated with the digging and re-filling of the Structure 2 builder’strench. It represents a mixture of Level 4 and Level 5 (subsoil) soils, and it occurred alongthe inside and outside margins of all Structure 2 foundations. It was a compact, mottledsandy loam and clay that ranged from in color from dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) to lightyellowish brown (2.5Y 6/4).Level 5Level 5 is a light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/4) clay that comprises the subsoil at thesite. It contains no cultural material but has been intruded by builder’s trenches, postholes,and shallow plow scars.FEATURE CONTEXTSIn addition to the stratigraphic contexts described above, 13 other archaeologicalcontexts were recognized during excavations and assigned feature designations. These arelocated in Figure 31 and described below.Feature 1Feature 1 was a round, 1.0-ft diameter soil disturbance located inside Structure 2 at101.7R77.0. It appeared within Level 2, was 0.3 ft deep, and did not extend beneath Level 3.Based on its stratigraphic position, it must post-date Structure 2. Feature 1 contained threepieces of glass.24
Feature 2Feature 2 was a linear disturbance located inside Structure 2 that extended from100.0R84.0 to 102.3R81.3. Much of this feature appeared to have been removed by thebackhoe. It was only about 0.2 ft deep and appears to be a relatively recent utility trench. Itcontained several nails, a sewer tile fragment, window glass, and a piece of a wooden pencil.Feature 3Feature 3 was a circular, dark brown (7.5YR 3/2) soil stain located within Structure 2at 101.5R69.3. It was first detected at the top of Level 3, and it measured 1.4 ft in diameterand 0.5 ft deep. This disturbance contained mostly window glass and nails, and did notpenetrate Level 4b. Given its stratigraphic position, Feature 3 must post-date the destructionof Structure 2.Feature 4Feature 4 was a particularly rich, irregular area of fill resting on Level 3 near the eastend of Structure 2. It was located at 103.0R103.0 and covered an area of about 4.0 ft by 6.5ft. It also extended beyond the excavation to the east and south. This lens of fill was 0.4 ftthick and consisted of black ash with pockets of gray sandy loam. It contained numerouslarge, charred brick fragments, as well as a large number of ceramic, glass, and iron artifacts.Feature 4 appears to be associated with the demolition of Structure 2.Feature 5This designation was given to a narrow band of light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/4)subsoil clay resting on top of the builder’s trench alongside the easternmost chimneyfoundation in Structure 2. It was 0.2 ft to 0.3 ft thick and extended from 100.0R97.0 to105.0R98.0. The only artifacts found in it were two cut nails and a piece of window glass.Feature 5 is associated with the construction of Structure 2.Feature 6Feature 6 was a circular posthole located within Structure 2 at 105.5R89.5. It wasabout 1.0 ft in diameter, and it extended from Level 2 through Levels 3 and 4. It was 1.6 ftdeep and contained glass, nails, a potsherd, and a piece of animal bone. The stratigraphicposition of Feature 6 indicates that it post-dates the demolition of Structure 2.25
