Where: Virginia · approx. 36.73, -76.58 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Nansemond River (tidal), tributary of the James / Hampton Roads
What turns up: Peanut and river-trade town: warehouse and merchant refuse with hutchinson and blob-top sodas, local druggist bottles, stoneware, and buttons along the Nansemond River landing and old downtown lots.
Access: Gray area.
The tidal Nansemond River bed below mean-low-water is public-trust bottom owned by the Commonwealth and historic-artifact removal there is restricted; the private wharf and downtown lots on the Sanborn footprint need the landowner's permission. State law protects archaeological sites.
