POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS AT THE WEST ROWHOUSE SITE, 46JF209, ON VIRGINIUS ISLAND, HARPER'S FERRY, WEST VIRGINIA

Part of the Harpers Ferry project

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 1994

Summary

Pollen and macrofloral samples were analyzed from proveniences associated with West Rowhouse #5 (Site 46JF209) near the Shenandoah River on Virginius Island, Harper's Ferry National Historical Park. The rowhouses were built in 1850 and served as housing for workers in either Herr's Flour Mill or the Harper's Ferry and Shenandoah Manufacturing Company's cotton factory. The rowhouses were destroyed in the 1920s. Samples were examined from the inner basin of a raceway built along the banks of the Shenandoah River, from the general backyard between the rowhouse and the inner basin, and from an attached outbuilding that may have been used for storage.
