The Foster Site is a historic archaeological site on the campus of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. The site was the location in the 19th century of a homestead purchased by a free African-American woman, Catherine "Kitty" Foster. The site includes archaeological and foundational remnants of her house, an outbuilding (likely a smokehouse), a brick-lined well, and a family cemetery. Foster purchased a parcel of over 2 acres (0.81 ha) in 1833, that had originally been developed for African Americans working on the construction of the university.The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
