Archaeobotany at old mobile

This paper reevaluates the recovered ceramic materials in light of the past decade’s ongoing research in this area of Hi......
Lonely Men, Loose Women: Rethinking the Demographics of a Multiethnic Mining Camp, Kanaka Flat, Oregon
Historical Archaeology - Tập 47 - Trang 23-35 - 2016

The mining camp in particular has become an institution of the traditional frontier narrative, biasing interpretations of the composition of early mining settlements. Historical and modern accounts of Kanaka Flat describe a lack of women, yet archaeological data and documentary evidence indicated w......
