Where: Alabama · approx. 32.38, -86.31 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on On the Alabama River at the historic riverboat landing and cotton wharves below the bluff downtown.
What turns up: Steamboat-era riverfront discard: patent medicines, bitters, applied-top whiskey flasks, and early Southern blob and Hutchinson sodas near the old landing and warehouse row.
Access: Gray area.
Alabama framing: the bed of the Alabama River below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public-trust land where removing historic artifacts is restricted; the landing banks and uplands are usually private or city-owned and need permission; state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
