Carthage (Cumberland River)

Where: Tennessee · approx. 36.25, -85.95 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Cumberland River, at the historic upper-river steamboat landing

What turns up: Landing bank and shallows below the courthouse square: hand-blown bottles, stoneware jug shards, clay pipes, and packet-boat and milling debris; privies behind old riverfront lots hold 1890s to 1910s medicine and whiskey bottles.

Access: Gray area.

The Cumberland streambed below the ordinary high-water mark is state public-trust bottomland with restrictions on artifact removal; the landing and banks are private or county ground needing permission. Archaeological sites and unmarked burials are protected.
