Calvert Interim Report No. 7: The Calvert Site, Annapolis, Maryland: Seed Remains

Abstract

The Calvert Site was the home of Capt. Charles Calvert, governor of Maryland in the 1720s. It was excavated by Anne Yentsch under the auspices of Historic Annapolis, Inc., for 12 months between April 1982 and January 1984. Most of the seeds reported here come from two features that date to the latter half of the 18th century, a well near the Circle and a hypocaust behind the house. A few other features provide the rest of the material (see Table 1). Unless otherwise notes, the seeds reported here are not charred.
