Archaeological Monitoring at Eppington Plantation Chesterfield, Virginia ARCHAEOLOGICAL MONITORING AT EPPINGTON PLANTATION CHESTERFIELD, VIRGINIA Prepared for: Brian A. Gregaitis Project Coordinator Planning and Construction Services Division Parks and Recreation Chesterfield County, Virginia Principal Investigator: Nicholas M. Luccketti, M.A., RPA Authors: Sean Romo, B.S. Garrett Fesler, Ph.D., RPA James River Institute for Archaeology, Inc. 223 McLaws Circle, Suite 1 Williamsburg, Virginia 23185 (757) 229-9485 ii Figure 1. 2013 USGS topo map of the Winterpock Quadrangle showing the location of Eppington Plantation. iii iv ABSTRACT Repairs and renovations to the ca. 1770 Eppington mansion by the Chesterfield County Parks and Recreation Department (CCPRD) included the excavation of nine trenches to hold new drainpipes, intended to improve the flow of water away from the mansion. Due to the presence of subsurface archaeological features at Eppington plantation and in the immediate vicinity of the mansion, the CCPRD contracted the James River Institute for Archaeology (JRIA) to monitor the excavation of the trenches, and to document any artifacts and/or subsurface features identified within. JRIA also recorded and collected artifacts from recent excavations in the basement of the Eppington mansion, also undertaken as part of the restoration project at the house. Excavation of the trenches took place on 16, 17 and 21 July 2014, and revealed eight features. One of these features was a ca. 1770 foundation for the original porch of the Eppington mansion, destroyed when the east and west wings of that structure were installed ca. 1790. Another feature was a large-scale deposit of gravel-filled soil which may be evidence for wide-area landscaping activities at Eppington. Few other features were positively identified, but they nevertheless act as evidence of the rich and varied nature of the archaeological record at Eppington Plantation. The basement excavations contained no evidence of any features, but did yield a large amount of artifacts dating to the mid- to late-19th century. Overall, the excavations at Eppington indicate the presence of features and artifacts in and around the mansion which date to several occupation periods at the site. v vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ......................................................................................................................

  • CHAPTER 8:HISTORICAL and CULTURAL RESOURCES Overview a Brief History of Chesterfield County
    CHAPTER 8: HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES Overview Chesterfield County enjoys the distinction of being an area with one of the longest periods of continuous habitation in the country. In looking towards the future, it is important to understand, and to appropriately preserve and promote the county’s rich historical and cultural foundation. Not only can students experience hands-on learning at these historic sites, but Chesterfield County can also increase local business development through tourism. DESIRED OUTCOMES OF THIS CHAPTER: • Preservation of Historic Places and Structures • Leverage Historic Assets to Create a Sense of Place and Foster Tourism • Support Partnerships and Private Preservation of Historic Resources • Utilize Historic Places for Events, Education and Other Unique Experiences A Brief History of Chesterfield County The county was originally inhabited by the Appamatuck Tribe, one of many tribes ruled by Chief Wahasonacock. In 1611, Sir Thomas Dale led a group of colonists from the original English settlement at Jamestown to the “Citie of Henricus” located on Farrar’s Island. In 1613, Dale seized various lands around the area where John Rolfe cultivated a salable variety of tobacco for English export for the Virginia Company of London. Tobacco became the colony’s main export and source of revenue. In 1619, the first iron furnace, and one of the first industrial developments in America, was established on Falling Creek near the James River. Other early American accomplishments included private property ownership, beginning of public education and experiments in representative government. In March 1622, Chief Wahasonacock’s successor, Chief Opechancanough, launched a coordinated attack on area settlements, many of which never recovered and were abandoned.
