Alexandria VA: Old Town privy yards

BOTTLE DIGGING PERMISSION REQUIRED CONFIRMED

Where: East · North America · approx. 38.8, -77.04 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: George Washington's port city, its 18th- and 19th-century privies and made-land waterfront dense with bottles under one of America's strictest city archaeology codes

What turns up: colonial and Victorian bottles, stoneware, pipes, doll parts, coins from yard digs

Access: Permission required.

Digging happens only in private yards with written landowner permission; the Alexandria Archaeological Protection Code governs ground disturbance on development sites and the waterfront, which are strictly off limits to hobby digging
