Archaeologists have unveiled a major historical find in north Mississippi: the remains of a kiln believed to be over 100 years old, potentially dating back to the post-Civil War era and possibly used by freed slaves. The excavation, conducted by a team from Chronicle Heritage during a land survey for infrastructure development, promises to add a vital chapter to the understanding of African American life and labor in the region during the late 19th century (The Commercial Appeal).
