Where: Maine · approx. 44.09, -69.8 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Kennebec River, tidal
What turns up: Kennebec shipbuilding and ice-cutting refuse: utility bottles, forged spikes, and stoneware on the tidal riverbanks below Front Street.
Access: Gray area.
Private waterfront title runs to the low-tide line under Maine's rule, so the Kennebec intertidal is largely private and needs the owner's permission; the bed of the navigable Kennebec is state-owned with artifact removal restricted, and townsite uplands are private. State law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
