Greene Farm Archaeology

ARCHAEOLOGY at GREENE FARM

Since 2004 the Greene Farm Archaeology Project (GFAP) has focused on researching the cultural landscape transformations of the past 400 years on one of the few remaining Providence Planatations. During three years of laboratory analyses and summer fieldwork, we have conducted an extensive shovel testing survey of about one-fifth of the 150 acre property and located dozens of historical archaeological features. To date, excavations have concentrated on recovering information from three areas: The OLD HOUSE (17th century), an IRONWORKING AREA (colonial period, possible bloomery), and a KITCHEN outbuilding (late 18th century) associated with the Main House (c. 1690-present).
