Michigan State excavated a brick clamp on the Tombigbee Waterway Project
in Clay County, Mississippi in 1980. It was at the Vinton site (1840s era)
where Dean Anderson was my crew chief.
Here is at least one of the references:
Oral Historical, Documentary, and Archaeological Investigations of
Colbert, Barton, and Vinton, Mississippi: An Interim Report on Phase I of the
Tombigbee Historic Townsites Project, Vol. I, edited by W. Lee Minnerly, ms. on

"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their
faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving
only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their
cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste
of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to
make plans." - E. Hemingway
