Where: Maine · approx. 44.31, -69.78 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Kennebec River head of tide
What turns up: State-capital and cotton-mill era dumps: embossed druggist, soda, and ale bottles plus stoneware along the Kennebec dam and old tenement lots.
Access: Gray area.
Maine private waterfront ownership extends to the low-tide line, so lower Kennebec intertidal is mostly private and needs the owner's permission; the bed of the navigable Kennebec is state-owned with artifact removal restricted, and townsite uplands are private. State law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
