Why this spot: 1880s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Naugatuck River and Mad River through the city center
What turns up: Brass-mill and mill-race fill plus privies behind the pre-1900 downtown; expect sodas, bitters, patent medicines and stoneware in heavy industrial deposits.
Access: Gray area.
The bed of the Naugatuck River below ordinary high water may be Connecticut public-trust land with restrictions on artifact removal; the mill lots and downtown parcels are private or municipal and need permission; archaeological sites and unmarked graves are protected by state law.
