Description

Report on the archaeological excavations done at the Aiken-Rhett House laundry. Examines the issues of exposing and interpreting architectural features associated with the workings of the 1850s laundry system; understanding the archaeological site formation processes responsible for the archaeological deposits contained in the room and beneath historic wooden floors; dating these deposits and associating them with known occupational and functional periods of the kitchen building; exploring evidence for room usage through identification and quantification of the recovered artifacts; comparing the archaeological record to documented events at the site, to better understand the activities of both the enslaved and free servants on the property through the 19th century. i-v, 65 p., : ill., maps
