Archaeology at Monticello (Monticello Monograph Series)

Archaeology at Monticello (Monticello Monograph Series) by Kelso, William M.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781882886050.

In telling the story of Thomas Jefferson, the grounds at Monticello, and the many people, enslaved and free, who worked on the plantation, William Kelsos landmark work augments the written record of life there. Archeological excavations show that many of Jeffersons idealized projects were realized in very different form. In particular, the book contains significant new information about Mulberry Row, a line of workshops and dwellings where most of the plantations industries were located. The wealth of material objects that Kelsos team unearthed form a fascinating and palpable link to the past.
