Portsmouth at the Scioto mouth

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Ohio · approx. 38.73, -83.0 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Scioto River and Ohio River

What turns up: Shoe-factory, brewery, and river-trade refuse: blob-top beers, mineral-water and bitters bottles, and stoneware along the old wharf and floodwall flats where the Scioto meets the Ohio.

Access: Gray area.

In Ohio the beds of the Ohio and Scioto below the ordinary high-water mark are state-owned public-trust land where artifact removal is restricted; the banks and uplands are usually private and need the landowner's permission, and state law protects archaeological and burial sites.
