BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Vermont · approx. 44.02, -73.17 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Otter Creek at the falls

What turns up: A college and mill town straddling the Otter Creek falls. Search the gorge banks and tailrace ground below the falls and the old marble-works fringe for early bottles, stoneware and foundry debris; downtown back lots are strong privy ground.

Access: Gray area.

The bed of Otter Creek below the ordinary high-water mark is state public-trust land with restricted artifact removal; the falls banks and village lots are private and need permission. State law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
