Abstract:  During 1993, salvage excavations of the Dyer blacksmith shop at 
Griffin Gables (also known as Beley House) uncovered structural and 
artifactual information on smithy operations dating to the 1830's through 
1840's. A discussion on the excavation and more importantly, the 
smithy-related materials will be presented here.
