Excavations of the Hayti Dump located near the DBAP in Durham produced hundreds of artifacts related to the affluent African-American community in Hayti which was sometimes identified as “the Wall Street of the African-American community.” This late 19th-early 20th century artifact collection has recently been processed by volunteers and students working at the Office of State Archaeology Research Center. Artifacts included numerous bottles, fragments of metal, glass, and porcelain as well as unique objects such as a French-manufactured shaving cream jar and a small porcelain figurine.–Dr. Billy Oliver
