Description
Although Louis Caywood failed to find any archaeological evidence for the 1844 to1860 Carpenter Shop during his pioneering archaeological investigations of the Fort Vancouver site in 1948 and 1950, John Hussey, after reviewing Caywood’s data, was skeptical of Caywood’s conclusions. Caywood had claimed that he had excavated the entire area of the Carpenters Shop and had found no structural evidence for the building.
