Where: Massachusetts · approx. 41.9, -71.09 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Taunton River and Mill River
What turns up: Silver-plate, stove and brick-works town refuse: aqua and amber bottles, stoneware and ironstone shards, crucible and foundry slag, and clay pipes along the Mill River and Taunton River factory frontage.
Access: Gray area.
Massachusetts holds the bed of the navigable Taunton River in public trust where removing historic artifacts is restricted, and tidal reaches carry private ownership toward the low-water line so permission is needed on those flats. Factory and townsite uplands are private, and state law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
