Where: Kansas · approx. 39.05, -95.68 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Kansas River (Kaw), through the city
What turns up: Riverfront and early-ward privy deposits: Hutchinson and blob-top sodas, druggist bottles embossed Topeka, stoneware, ink and medicine bottles, and territorial-to-early-statehood small finds near the old crossing and warehouse district.
Access: Gray area.
The Kansas River is navigable, so its bed below the ordinary high-water mark is state-owned public trust with restrictions on removing historic artifacts. The banks and uplands of the townsite are usually private and need the landowner's permission. Kansas law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
