Summary

Artifact catalog from Phase 2 archaeological and historical evaluations conducted at 44PG317, a 19th century domestic site owned and occupied by a freed black family from 1823 through the 1st decade of the 20th century.

The Phase 2 evaluation indicates that the site, which contains intact features and fits into an historic context emphasizing the 19th century from the Federal and Antebellum periods through the Civil War and Postbellum periods. Further, since the site was owned and occupied by a free black family during that time, it can contribute to several themes within that context. These themes include studies of ethnicity and lifeways for a population which is underrepresented in the documentary records. Field evaluation of the site indicates that numerous intact features are present.
