Hi Mary.  My friend here at work, Jane Rosenthal, and I have been discussing
your question about Quaker archaeology.  We're wondering if you have a model
for identifying a Quaker household as distinct from any other
contemporaneous one?  Jane tells me that early Quakers were not permitted to
enjoy music or dancing, so no musical instruments, I guess. Also no smoking
or excessive ornamentation...or, being pacifists, nothing a solider would
own.  Otherwise, how would you know it was a Quaker household and what would
you hope to learn if you did know?  Or is it just a matter of reasoning
backwards, having found a site already known to be associated with a Quaker?
Also, Jane mentioned that Ben Franklin, Susan B. Anthony, William Penn and
Thomas Paine were Friends. Maybe there are excavations associated with one
of them?
