22Lo741: A Nineteenth Century Multipurpose Light Industrial Site in Lowndes County, Mississippi.

Abstract

This report presents the results of the excavation of 22Lo741, Lowndes County, Mississippi. Excavation and subsequent analysis has indicated that 22Lo741 was a multipurpose light industrial site dating to the second third of the nineteenth century. Specifically it functioned as both a cotton gin and a forge/light repair shop. The course of the investigation of the site is detailed from its initial discovery through the development of a research strategy, the excavation, and the analysis. Pertinent documentary data are discussed in addition to a detailed description of the site, the excavation units and the artifacts recovered. A structural analysis of the extant architectural remains is also presented, along with a general discussion of the relationship between 22Lo741, adjacent nineteenth century sites, and the nearby townsites of Colbert and Barton.
