Apponaug and Pawtuxet bay villages

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Rhode Island · approx. 41.7, -71.46 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1910s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Apponaug Cove and the Pawtuxet shoreline on the west side of Narragansett Bay

What turns up: Old bay-shore mill and trade villages such as Apponaug. Around cove wharves, mill lots and back yards expect utility and beer bottles, Hutchinson sodas, medicines, stoneware and clay pipes from the early-1900s villages.

Access: Gray area.

Rhode Island reserves public rights along the shore, and tidelands and navigable-water beds around Apponaug Cove are public-trust land where artifact removal is restricted. Shore uplands are private and need the owner's permission. State law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
