Who: Adam R. Heinrich
What: Archaeology at the Restore Lippincott Homestead Site (28-Bu-921), Burlington County, New Jersey
When Restore Lippincott, a very prominent New Jersey Quaker leader, died in 1741, he passed two enslaved people on to a son. The complex documentary history reveals the family engaged in owning black and Native American laborers as well as hiring indentured and seasonal labor. In 2018, excavations at the Restore Lippincott Homestead site (28-Bu-921) examined an out-building that served as a quarters for these laborers until it burned in the 1720s. The building contained subfloor deposits along with a sub-floor pit containing a range of faunal remains, tobacco pipes, lithic scrapers, a grinding stone, and sewing equipment representing their work and culture.
