In 2010, an Industrial Archaeologist named Talva Jacobson came to the Historic Clay District to complete an archaeological study of Medalta’s Kiln Room. We were reasonably sure that the foundations of at least three round kilns were under the concrete floor which was constructed sometime in the 1960’s. As Talva and her team excavated, they were indeed able to find kiln foundations as well as a wealth of other archaeological information which will aid in understanding the processes of industry in the early years of the twentieth century.
