Archeological Investigations at Tenant House No. 1. Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site, September 22-30, 1980
Archaeological excavations were conducted around the foundation of Tenant House No. 1, Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site, in the period September 22-30, 1980. The park maintenance staff planned to dig a trench encircling the structure to enable them to point and waterproof the foundation. Excavations were therefore undertaken to record any cultural features such as builders' trenches, post holes, trash deposits, etc., which would be obliterated by the maintenance project. These proved to consist primarily of trash deposits outside the kitchen and parlor windows, which helped shed some light on the activities within.
