Old Mobile (1MB94) Fort Louis, Mobile County, Alabama.
PROJECT Gregory Waselkov.

After an intensive remote sensing effort in 2005 failed to identify remains of Fort Louis at the Old Mobile site (1MB94), a large pit feature associated with one of the fort's bastions was found in that search area by hand excavation. This feature and adjacent units were excavated in 2007-2010.


Old Mobile (1MB94) Structure 01, Mobile County, Alabama.
PROJECT Gregory Waselkov.

Structure 1 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was first noted for its raised earthen floor. Several similar features were visible in the forested, unplowed, western half of the townsite. Complete excavation in 1989 revealed the building to have been built using poteaux-sur-sole, or post on sill, construction. This building had a large central room with three joists supporting a wooden floor. On each end was a smaller room, one of which shared a double-hearth chimney with the central room. The long...


Old Mobile (1MB94) Structure 02, Mobile County, Alabama.
PROJECT Gregory Waselkov.

Structure 2 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was first identified from systematic shovel testing that recovered blacksmithing slag from a concentrated area at the western edge of the townsite, adjacent to a swamp. Extensive excavations in 1990 uncovered a blacksmith's work area with forge and associated shelter, surrounded by a maze of fence footing trenches. Palisade-style fences are commonly associated with French colonial structures, but these fences were built and rebuilt frequently during the...


Old Mobile (1MB94) Structure 14, Mobile County, Alabama.
PROJECT Uploaded by: Sarah Mattics

Structure 14 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was first noticed as an earthen floor partially preserved in the unplowed center of the townsite, in an area that is intermittently flooded by heavy rains. Excavation of this structure has consequently been limited to dry spells in 1992, 1995 and 1998-2003. The long axis of the building was oriented northwest-southeast, aligned with the street grid of the town, as depicted on the two historic maps of Old Mobile. Most of the south half of the structure...


Old Mobile (1MB94) Structure 30, Mobile County, Alabama.
PROJECT Gregory Waselkov.

Excavation of Structure 30 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) occurred between 1992 and 1996, with field school student assistance. This two-room building was constructed in the pieux-en-terre style with subsurface wall and fence trenches preserved below plowzone. Relative artifact quantities in the trench features indicate a construction sequence, with the building constructed first, followed some time afterward by erection of a palisade-type fence enclosing the building. The associated artifact...


Old Mobile (1MB94) Structure 31, Mobile County, Alabama.
PROJECT Gregory Waselkov.

Structure 31 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was excavated from 1996 to 2002. This one-room building, constructed in the pieux-en-terre style, had subsurface wall trenches preserved below plowzone. A doorway was visible in the middle of the southwest wall. An additional wall trench extension off the northeast wall may indicate the location of a bread oven platform and hearth. A large pit dug for building material adjacent to the building was found filled with refuse, including four iron...


Old Mobile (1MB94) Structure 32, Mobile County, Alabama.
PROJECT Gregory Waselkov.

Structure 32 at the Old Mobile site (1MB94) was excavated intermittently between 1996 and 2003, with the entire building plan finally exposed and excavated in 2007. This was a very long pieux-en-terre building, with subsurface wall trenches preserved below plowzone. Built in two nearly identical stages, the final stage of occupation formed a duplex, with an additional wall trench off the southeast wall that probably served as hearth and bread oven platform. The first construction phase consisted...

Parasitological and Macrobotanical Analyses of a Late-18th Century Privy, Portsmouth, New Hampshire (2011)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Heather Trigg. Susan Jacobucci. Marisa D. Patalano.

Five soil samples from a late eighteenth-century privy at the Wentworth site in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, were submitted to the Fiske Center for parasitological and macrobotanical analysis in order to illuminate the diet, health, and sanitation practices of the site's occupants. Over 2000 macrobotanical remains were recovered from these five samples, as well as 516 parasite ova which were interpreted as evidence of both roundworm (Ascaris sp.) and whipworm (Trichuris sp.) infestation....
