Not to be to obvious, you might want to ask at Friends World College
on Long Island, NY. One of its administrators, whom I had the pleasure
of meeting and listening to at a lecture on the apparent
non-conformity of Illinoisan/Wisconsin glacial boundary seen on the
east end of Long Island, James Truex, was also President of the
Suffolk County Archaeological Association there in the State of New
York.

Another excavated site was the Watervliet Shaker Cemetery near Dayton,
Ohio for the Dayton Power and Light Company's research facility, on
the former Shaker owned farm there of over 900 acres, then to be
shared for research and new technologies development.

Another source was the reports in Industrial Archeology by the Society
for Industrial Archeology by David Starbuck, et al of the Canterbury
Shaker Village in New Hampshire, an interpretative site open to the
public, more recently test excavated under Federal Highway grant who
were excavating there last time I visited.

Of the Watevliet Shakers in Ohio, I did a "life insurance" study on
longevity that apparently the Shaker enjoyed from the statistics of
those who died there and concluded that life in Ohio may have been
harsher than at the other communities, or just represented a later
phenomena of abandonment. I was told that they invented and patented
there a type of condensed or evaporated milk and did pretty well. That
section should be in the report in Ohio.
