We encountered several horseshoes buried partially beneath the corner of a dressed stone foundation at a 19th century domestic site located along the southern Virginia coastal plain. Additional horseshoes were also recovered along the foundation wall of an early 20th century addition. I would be interested to hear of any similar observations for these site types including information regarding the possible background of site occupants (ethnicity, etc.).
Thanks,
Ben
