Documentary, archaeological, and geophysical data suggest that the greenhouse was a formal space intended to display exotic plants and that it was built in the relatively new lean-to style, with a tall back wall and a short front wall. The artifact assemblage included tools and small finds related to the greenhouse operation, as well as the remains of at least 149 planting pots. The greenhouse was constructed during a period of intense interest in agricultural experimentation by members of the Massachusetts commercial and political elite, including Gore. Scholars have argued that these men used the positive associations of agriculture to offset some of the contemporary negative connotations of commerce. This article examines the greenhouse in the light of this scientific agricultural movement but also argues that the greenhouse was an extension of the social space of the house and posits that Rebecca Gore may have played a significant role in managing it. Grâce à des fouilles et à l’utilisation de géoradar au site de Gore Place à Waltham dans l’état du Massachusetts, une partie de la serre construite par Christopher et Rebecca Gore au début du 19ième siècle (de ca. 1806 au début des années 1840) a été mise au jour. Les données documentaires, archéologiques et géophysiques suggèrent que la serre était un espace formel prévu pour exhiber des plantes exotiques et qu’elle avait été construite selon un type de construction relativement nouveau à l’époque qu’est la serre à un versant, i.e. une serre dont le mur de l’arrière est plus haut que celui de l’avant. L’assemblage des artefacts comprend des outils et des menus objets liés aux opérations d’une serre, de même que des vestiges d’au moins 149 pots à plante. La serre fut construite à une époque pendant laquelle les membres de l’élite commerciale et politique du Massachussetts, incluant Gore, étaient grandement intéressés à faire des expériences de nature agricole. Des érudits ont avancé que ces hommes utilisaient les associations positives liées à l’agriculture afin de contrer les connotations négatives liées au commerce à l’époque. Cet article examine la serre dans le cadre de ce mouvement agricole scientifique, mais propose aussi que la serre fût en quelque sorte une extension de l’espace social de la maison et que Rebecca Gore a probablement joué un rôle important dans sa gestion. Northeast Historical Archaeology/Vol. 38, 2009 71 Christopher Gore was a lawyer and politician by profession (Pinkney 1969), yet he invested a great amount of energy in his farm, as he called it, as did many of his peers. Gore was a founding member of the MSPA, and his greenhouse, probably built in 1805-1806, was constructed in the context of this rising social interest in agriculture and horticulture.
