Natchez (Mississippi River bluff and Natchez Under-the-Hill)

Where: Mississippi · approx. 31.56, -91.4 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Mississippi River, at the high bluff with the Under-the-Hill landing below

What turns up: Steamboat-era whiskey flasks and applied-lip bottles, salt-glazed stoneware jugs, clay and stone marbles, cut nails, and 1880s pharmacy bottles in the Under-the-Hill batture mud and old privy pits behind the bluff-top mercantile row.

Access: Gray area.

In Mississippi the bed of the navigable Mississippi River below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust land where removing historic artifacts is restricted; the batture and bluff uplands are typically private and need the landowner's permission, and state law protects archaeological sites and any unmarked burials.
