. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. â â y. Figure 52.âStructure F (supposed smokehouse loundalion). Firing ciiamber in foreground. 59. 1731 Staffordshire salt-glazed white stoneware, some with molded rims, ca. 1 760 Half of sheep shears (ill. 85) Convex copper escutcheon plate (fig. 83g) Brass-hinged handle or pull for strap (fig. 83i, ill. 89) Elsewhere, in the trenches next to the foiindaiiou walls, artifacts typical of those occurring in other parts of the site were found. Worth mentioning are pieces of yellow-streaked, red earthen "agate" ware, some- times attributed to Astbury or VVhieldon, and sherds of cord-impressed Indian pottery. ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS Since the interior of this stnictme was not excaxated, many uncertainties remain as to its identity. The peculiar fluclike structure passing through its foun- dation, the rubble of bricks used to form the founda- tion, the huge quantities of oystershells in the flue, with partly burnt coals underneath, gi\e rise to \arious speculations. So does the orientation of the structure, which is off both the true and polar axes and is also unrelated to the mansion or the wall system. The most likely explanation seems to be that Struc- ture F was the foundation of a smokehouse. A recently excavated foiuidation in what was known as Bruns- wick Town, North Carolina, is almost identical (except for the use of ballast stone in the fire chamber and the building foundation). This also is believed to be a sinokehouse foundation, since similar structures 103.
