Where: Massachusetts · approx. 42.24, -70.89 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Hingham Harbor and the Weir River on Massachusetts Bay
What turns up: Old coastal town and woodenware refuse: aqua and black-glass bottles, stoneware and redware, bucket and box-factory hardware, and clay pipes around the harbor cove and the historic town center.
Access: Gray area.
Massachusetts colonial law extends private shoreownership to the low-tide line, so Hingham Harbor flats are largely private and need permission. The bed of the navigable harbor is public trust where removing historic artifacts is restricted. Townsite uplands are private, and state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
