Ok here is a map showing a layout of a house foundation near my home. Its about a 1/4 mile off a country road and has been undisturbed for years. Directly near the stone foundation on all sides is a layer of ash. 2 FIREPLACE are visible in the north and south ends. To the south west about 100' is a small brick foundation. Prob 6x6'. I doug down about 2-3 feet and was finding ash and burnt timber chunks. To the east of the foundation i have found several glass bottles one of which was a canning lid with a patent from 1851 on the top along with rumsford bottles and numerous clay and ceramic plate shards. Also in a stream i found a intact 2 person tree saw. Here is a map, if someone can look at it and at least give me a starting point to find a privy i would be thankfull. The site is in heavy timber in the woods.
