Cambridge

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Maryland · approx. 38.56, -76.08 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Cambridge Creek and the tidal Choptank River on the Chesapeake Bay's eastern shore.

What turns up: Oyster and seafood packing-house era debris along Cambridge Creek: oyster-shell middens, canning tins, stoneware crocks, and embossed local druggist, soda, and beer bottles near the old wharves and cannery row.

Access: Gray area.

The bed of the tidal Choptank and Cambridge Creek below mean high water is state public-trust bottom where artifact removal is restricted; state law protects submerged archaeological resources. The cannery uplands and town lots are private and require permission.
