Dear Fellow Histarchers,
My colleagues and I are working on an rural site in Connecticut that contains foundation remains of a ca. 1890s synagogue, ca. 1910s mikvah, and ca. 1890s creamery building. We are looking for any comparative archaeological data on these three types of features in the U.S. So far we know about the two mikvah sites in lower Manhattan and the one in Baltimore, but are unaware of any others. We also are having trouble finding archaeological data for synagogues: most sites seem to deal with the superstructure, not the archaeological remains. Creamery data are also tricky to find; most of the references I've seen are for the Midwest. I have done the usual internet searches and searches of a number of SHPO and NRHP databases. We have much historical data for Jewish occupation in Connecticut already and so are mostly looking for archaeological data at this point. We would greatly appreciate any information you could share.
Feel free to contact me off-list.
Thanks.
