| To collect an even archaeological sample, a grid of shovel tests (small dark or open circles) was excavated across the entire site, including the wooded areas (shaded green) at the edge of the lawn. Easting and northing grid coordinates are shown along the top and left edges of the map. With the information gathered from the shovel testing phase, three locations were chosen for excavating larger, square test units (shaded brown). These were chosen based on concentrations of artifacts that indicated the presence of former structures. The map also shows the approximate locations of yard features and two graves that Esther Charvat remembered from her childhood visits to the property in the 1920s. Ms. Charvat and her husband lived at Weston from the 1950s until the Historic Hopewell Foundation bought the property in 1971. |
