Furniture and Architectural Artifacts

Furniture

Of course, on archaeological sites usually only the more durable components of furniture like knobs, casters, and pulls made of glass, ceramic, or metal survive. This category also comprises lighting devices. Fragments of glass from oil lamps were the most common item (104 for both sites).

Architectural

Nails were the most abundant item in this group, followed by window glass, and pieces of brick. A door knobs, and a few pieces of window hardware also were recovered from the sites.
