Carpenter's Saws
While excavating a trench at the site archaeologists discovered numerous artifacts including the carpenter's saw shown here.

In addition to the three saws with wooden handles, archaeologists discovered four small cask staves beneath a section of iron bar stock, immediately adjacent to the concreted remains of a cask of .69 caliber lead shot. This cask had collapsed into itself, with the iron hoops concreted into a single large ring. This circular shaped concretion is filled with .69 caliber lead shot. A cupric alloy teapot lid and several pieces of lead shot were also concreted in this assemblage.
