Archeological Monitoring of Construction Beneath the Gallatin House. Friendship Hill National Historic Site, Pennsylvania
Archeological monitoring of construction activities at the Gallatin House was conducted intermittently from late fall 1990 to early winter 1991. During this work, several archeological resources were investigated. Beneath the c. 1823 Stone House, demolition of the basement floor exposed an interior drain system. This system appears to have been constructed at the same time as the foundations, to deal with unacceptable levels of groundwater. Beneath the c. 1798 Frame House, lowering of the crawl space revealed a near-surface artifact scatter which dated to the interval between 1789 and 1798. The assemblage consisted mostly of ceramics and bone. Similarities to contemporaneous artifact deposits from other upper class contexts were noted.
