ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS!
The recent street reconstructions around the East River Market District in Lower Manhattan have resulted in some very exciting Federalist period finds that will be placed on view at New Amsterdam Market on November 13. Chrysalis Archaeologists will set a table with early 19th Century plates, platters, teacups, and other artifacts that once belonged to family of Dutch New Yorkers (either the Van Cortlandts or the Tienhovens). Their property stood in the vicinity of what is now 40 Fulton Street (near Pearl Street), before Fulton Street was cut through this area in 1825 to connecct the city more directly with the new Fulton Ferry steamship service. The finds include tableware imported to the South Street port from England and from China as well as pieces made in New York City, many of them nearly intact. Chrysalis will also exhibit ink bottles found near Ryders Alley (site of an early 19th century print shop) and wooden water pipe sections from the first Croton Aqueduct. We thank the New York City Department of Design and Construction (DDC) for making this exhibit possible.
