Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed account of archeological research conducted by the National Park Service at Harmony Hall in Maryland. The site is significant for its association with a late 17th-century earthfast house and an 18th-century Georgian manor home. The research team used various excavation strategies and methodologies, including soil core sampling and the excavation of 49 5-by-5-foot units, to uncover a wealth of artifacts that shed light on the history of the site. The findings show that Harmony Hall was occupied as early as the late 17th century, decades before the construction of the Georgian manor house. The book explores the broader historical context of the site, examining its place within the expanding Maryland frontier and discussing the social and economic life of its occupants. The author also analyzes the construction methods and materials used in the manor house and its outbuildings, providing insight into the architectural practices of the period. Ultimately, this book presents a comprehensive picture of the Harmony Hall site and its significance in understanding the westward expansion of European settlements in colonial America.
