A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Ruins of Old Jail, Patowmack Canal, Great Falls Park, Virginia
Test excavations at the 'Ruins of Old Jail' (or Company House) demonstrated that the building consisted of four, and possibly five, chambers. Over 10,000 artifacts have been recovered and analyses indicate that there have been three kinds of artifact deposition: those associated with building utilization, artifacts accumulated during the period of structural demise, and scatter debris deposited on top of this since the mid-19th century. The overwhelming majority of artifacts belong to this latter deposition.
