Cultural Resource Analysts is currently working on a project along the Kanawha River in West Virginia where historic documents indicate salt furnaces operated from 1797 to 1860. The remains of what may be a salt processing furnace were encountered eroding from the river bank. The visible remains consist of a partially intact stone wall, overlain by a lense of reddened sand. We are currently looking for additional references on the design and operation of antebellum salt furnaces. What kinds of archeological features should be expected, and what kinds of operational support facilities would exist in association with the salt furnace operations ? Thanks in advance for your help!
