To interpret successive phases of human occupancy and patterns of colonial culture through a thorough analysis of artifactual evidence. The Narbonne House is one of the few houses in Salem of unpretentious origin to survive comparatively unaltered on its original 17th century lot. This study will reveal information about the life-ways of the urban artisan class during the Colonial and early National period. During the Colonial period it was occupied in turn by a slaughterer, a weaver, and a mariner.
