I am looking for examples of late 18th century hoes to compare to the one I excavated at Fort Boonesborough (1775-c. 1790). Mine is a draw hoe that is generally square with rounded shoulders. It is very similar to later heavy hoes used in Southern contexts but this one is pretty tightly dated between 1775 and 1790. I can send a photo offlist if anyone is interested. I've seen some 18th century hoes online but nothing similar to mine. Thank you.
