Abstract:

Archaeological excavations revealed the foundation of Dudley's tavern and artifacts from the era just prior to and during the American Revolution. Taverns served as an important meeting place for revolutionary colonists. Archaeologists from the Division of Historic Sites and Museums excavated tableware, architectural elements, and, of course, material culture related to alcohol.
