The Great Baltimore Brewery dig was done in 1983? (I think!) No report was completed. The excavation was run by Charles Cheek, now at Milner in Alexandria; he could give you the details. While the site did contain a brewery, the building was later reused by a coffin manufacturer. The excavation was focused on a privy feature related to an upper-class family who lived on the block. I think the only brewery-related artifact recovered was a perforated clay tile, approximately one and one-half feet square, thought to have been used for drying grains prior to the brewing process. This tile is on display at the Baltimore Center for Urban Archaeology; contact Louise Akerson. Carmen Weber (I'm on my hubby's e-mail account!)
