What turns up: 18th and 19th-century colonial-port fill along the Chester River wharves: black-glass bottles, English and local stoneware, clay pipes, and embossed 1880s-1900s druggist and soda bottles behind the High Street waterfront.

Access: Gray area.

The bed of the tidal Chester River below mean high water is state-owned public trust; historic artifact removal there is restricted and submerged archaeological resources are protected by state law. The riverfront lots and uplands are private and need the landowner's permission.
