Where: Delaware · approx. 39.16, -75.52 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on State capital on the tidal St. Jones River, which carried sloop and shallop traffic down to Delaware Bay; a landing served the town below the falls.
What turns up: Local druggist and apothecary bottles, sodas and beers, stoneware, clay pipes, coins, buttons, and household hardware around the old St. Jones landing, tavern and hotel lots, and privy sites near the colonial green.
Access: Gray area.
Delaware framing: the bed of the tidal St. Jones River below the mean high-water line is state-owned public-trust tideland where artifact removal is restricted; the riverbank and townsite lots are generally private and require the owner's permission; state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
