Under John Duncan and his brother Philip, who succeeded him in the keepership in 1829, the collections were comprehensively re-displayed according to the tenets of ‘natural theology’, with a declared purpose ‘to induce a mental habit of associating the view of natural phenomena with the conviction that they are the media of divine manifestation’.
Fresh natural history specimens were acquired in large numbers by the Duncans to this end and they made no bones of relegating the man-made ‘curiosities’ in the collection to a secondary role.
In the decades that followed, important collections of contemporary material from local excavations were added, antiquities from Rome arrived by way of one of the keepers, J H Parker, and numerous pieces were purchased on behalf of the Museum in Egypt and the Near East by the Rev. Greville Chester.

RYE — Armed with tiny trowels and dustbins, archaeologist Bruce Byland and eight volunteers yesterday scraped away soil in search of the world inhabited by the young John Jay, years before he became a founding father to the nation.
Jay's Rye home is the lesser known of two Jay sites in Westchester and is sometimes confused with the Jay Homestead in Katonah, now owned by the state, where Jay lived in retirement for 28 years until his death in 1829.
The Rye property was bought by Jay's father, Peter Jay, in 1745, and the family moved there early the next year when John Jay was 3 months old.

The early archaeology of Washington, D.C., done by William Henry Holmes, S. Proudfit, and others, reveals a number of village, camp, and quarry sites within the present boundaries of the city (Figure 4).

This mining venture rapidly became very profitable, having sustained a tenfold increase in value between 1827 and 1837.
The profits were invested back into the mine; by 1829 a smelt mill had been constructed at the site, which meant that the slow (and expensive) journey to Keswick was no longer necessary.
The smelt mill was expanded and improved during the 1830s to include a silver refinery to extract silver from the lead; by 1839, the company was selling all its silver output to the Bank of England.
