Description
Excavations of a War of 1812 soldiers' barracks at Old Fort Niagara have yielded a collection of significant American, British, and Canadian artifacts. These items include a number of military items, particularly uniform buttons, musket parts, gunflints, and musketballs. These items can provide important clues about the life of the soldiers living at the fort during the War of 1812. This poster will review the 2013 excavations conducted by the 2013 SUNY Buffalo State Archaeological field school and discuss these findings in relation to earlier excavations at Old Fort Niagara.
