Where: Rhode Island · approx. 42.0, -71.51 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: 1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Blackstone River, which powered the city's textile mills
What turns up: A tightly packed French-Canadian mill city. In riverside fill, tenement privies and back lots look for Hutchinson and blob-top sodas, local beers, medicines, ink and stoneware, and clay pipes from the dense late-1800s neighborhoods.
Access: Gray area.
The bed of the navigable Blackstone and its banks are state public-trust and municipal land where removing historic artifacts is restricted. Surrounding mill-district lots are private and require the owner's permission. State law protects archaeological sites and unmarked burials.
