Description
Brunswick Town – Fort Anderson, a State Historic site in Winnabow, NC, is a multi-component site with distinct Native American, Colonial, and Civil War occupations. The Civil War barracks west of Battery A, as well as parts of the Colonial Era Wooten-Marnen Lot, underwent archaeological excavation in the summer of 2011. A cross section of unglazed pottery sherds from Native American and Colonial components at the site was analyzed by the UNCW Residue Lab to ascertain the presence and viability of chemical residues. The project was designed to provide a baseline study of unglazed pottery use across the occupation timeline and to contribute to the mission of historical interpretation at the site.
