Site 9
Identified during the 1997 Plantation Archaeological Survey, Site
9 represents another slave quarter that Jefferson failed to identify
in any of his writings or plats of the plantation. Domestic artifacts
such as creamware, pearlware, wine bottle glass and window glass
were recovered in addition to a number of nail rod fragments.
At the turn of the ninteenth century, Jefferson began importing
nailrod from Philadelphia to supply his nailery on Mulberry
Row. It appears that enslaved Africans obtained this material
and possibly produced nails in their quarters during their spare
time.
