    Excavations at 178 Prince George's Street, the Back Area of the Brice House, 18AP38, Annapolis, Maryland
    (1988) Williams, Eileen; Shackel, Paul A.
    During the spring of 1986, two weeks of archaeological excavations were performed behind 178 Prince George Street, Annapolis, Maryland. This area is considered to be the back area of the Brice House, 18AP38. A brick and stone foundations was recovered. Data from its builder's trench dates this feature to the early first half of the 18th-century, predating by several decades the construction of the Brice House. The structure was probably a stable that may have been incorporated, and rebuilt by Brice.
