October 4th was a gorgeous day in the “Maryland jungle” that yielded some interesting artifacts. We continued excavation within both Test Units 2 and 3. While we continued to search for the foundation wall in Test Unit 2, among brick and glass we also found a pair of small scissors. We followed the many courses of stone further in Test Unit 3 with the hopes of locating the dwelling floor and builder’s trench. The material culture we found included fish bones, a small rodent skull and bones, pipe fragments, various nails, buttons, ceramic fragments, mortar, plaster, bricks, and oyster shells.
