A Retrospective Look At The Material Culture Of The Leonard Calvert Site
Author(s): Silas Hurry; Donald L. Winter
Year: 2018
Summary
Since Historic St. Mary’s City began its investigations at the Leonard Calvert site in 1980, a remarkable suite of material culture has emerged from this premier colonial site. This presentation looks back over some of the artifacts recovered and provides some context for a number of the more remarkable objects. Ceramics, tobacco pipes, small finds, and glassware are all represented. Ceramics include Dutch tin glazed earthenware, Rhenish stoneware, and tiles, while glass includes façon de Venise tableware and bottle seals. Pipes range from elaborately molded stems and bowls through red clay pipes made in the Chesapeake. Small finds are represented by objects of copper, lead, bone, and silver. All of these contribute to our perspective on this unique occupation
