Abstract:

As NC state archaeologist and volunteers set out to begin an excavation of the Chowan County Courthouse, Hurricane Agnes struck Edenton and the rains that followed postponed the dig. The group moved to the site of another state-owned property that needed excavation. The cellar of the James Iredell House not only provided a relatively dry place to work, but also yielded plenty of kitchen and houseware artifacts.
