Brooklyn's Eighteenth-Century Lott House: Stratigraphy Lesson


Stone Kitchen Unearthed	"Brooklyn's Eighteenth-Century Lott House" 1999-2001

Having cleared away our urban jungle, we began to dig in the area old photos suggested to be the site of the stone kitchen. Just under the surface, we found this cluster of rocks and believed they were the foundation of the stone kitchen. But as we continued to dig, it became clear that these rocks were not related to the stone feature; instead, they were most likely a rock garden or the outline of a flower garden. We found the actual stone foundation about three feet below the surface. (Courtesy Brooklyn College)
