ay,
The Lost Towns of Anne Arundel Project is excavating a late 17th/early 18th cent
ury (up
to the 1730s?) tavern in London, Maryland, just south of Annapolis. The earthfas
t
building (at least 20 by 30ft) had a partial cellar, half of which we have excav
ated.
The assemblage includes dozens of wine bottles, tin glazed plates and bowls, lot
s of
faunal remains and other materials. Excavation is still in progress, so the repo
rt will
be some time forthcoming. We will be happy to provide further details off list u
pon
request.
