Abstract:

In 1974, archaeological digs began at Halifax which included professionals and students from Meredith College. The goal of excavation was to locate and examine a large unidentified building on a 1769 city map. Preliminary digs determined the location on the map to be correct and determined it was a household complete with tableware fragments and a large hearth used for cooking.
