  5. This tiny boot was from a doll! How did it get in the privy?

  6. What does “saponaceous” mean? Who do you imagine used this shaving compound?

  7. Marbles These marbles were made of clay or stone. Glass marbles came later. Who do you think played with these marbles?

  8. Comb Fragment This large-toothed comb may have been worn as a hair ornament. Who do you think wore it? How did it get broken?

  9. Excavation of theAshland Slave Quarters

  10. White Clay Pipe Stems from the Slave Quarters These pipes were almost certainly manufactured in Europe, probably England. Made in a mold, all one piece, the complete pipes had a small white clay bowl. The designs on these stems are called “rouletting.” Pipe stem fragments  are very commonly found at archaeological sites, as clay pipes broke easily. How do you imagine these pipes broke? Who used them?
