Author(s): Flora Church
Year: 2007
Summary
Cultural Resource Analysts, Inc. of Hurricane, West Virginia was contracted to analyze an assemblage of historic artifacts recovered beneath the floor of the Glenwood Quarters in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Glenwood was constructed between 1850 and 1852 for James Madison Laidley. George W. Summers purchased Glenwood in 1857, and his descendants lived in the house until the 1970s. The artifact assemblage was collected from two features identified during renovations of the Glenwood Quarters. The assemblage primarily consisted of mid-nineteenth century ceramics and animal bone. Based on the age of the ceramic assemblage, the deposits date from the mid-nineteenth century utilization of the building as a kitchen and slave quarter.
