Archaeology in Windsor! Tuesday, May 2, 2017
Last summer was full of excitement in Windsor as the Friends of the Office of State Archaeology working with Connecticut State Archaeologist Brian Jones utilized ground-penetrating radar to investigate the boundaries of the Palisade which surrounded the Palisado Green during the Pequot Wars. A filled-in and forgotten cellar on what had been Captain John Mason’s home-site was excavated, yielding straight pins, ceramics, clay pipe fragments architectural remnants such as lead window came, glass shards, and plaster, coinage, and food remnants such as salt water shellfish, and animal bones.
