The above photo (taken May 22, 2004) shows the south or back side of the Buckland Farmhouse on Westfall Road. The ground around this building was examined during the summer of 2005 to search for farm artifacts. Due to the access regulations to the property during construction methodical archaeological dig techniques were not used. Despite these limits of search many artifacts were uncovered (~600 artifacts) and the following pages illustrate some items found. A simple summary of items and shards found were as follows: Pottery ~100 shards, Glass ~ 100, China ~ 200, "Blue Willow" design plates & cups ~ 100, Metal ~ 50, and plastic ~ 25, for a total of about 575 shards allowing us to review life at the Buckland Farmhouse.
