Hi David
I will contact the people below. However, do you know personally if anyone
has researched the Goodnight ranch. I know of Goodnight (anyone who grew up
watching B western's does) I also almost visited it after the SHA conference
in Austin but snow in the canyon put my friends off. The place in West Texas
I was thinking of researching is also connected to Goodnight, the ranch of
his partner Oliver Lovering which was also the place Goodnight brought his
body back too (as in Lonesome Dove). Goodnight's previous ranch was also
nearby as is the starting point for their interstate cattle drives. You can
see why I think the area is somewhat connected to the idea of the 'wild
west' shown in movies.

May I suggest that you investigate the Charles Goodnight Ranch in the Palo
Dura Canyon area, Texas. Goodnight owned this area and was the inspiration
for the XIT, Matador ranches as well as bred cattle in the area. His cattle
drives included the states of Texas, New Mexico and Colorado just to name a
few. I suggest you contact The Texas Historical Commission
([log in to unmask]); Texas Archaelogical Research
Laboratory ([log in to unmask]) director; West Texas State College and the
Texas Tech University for research data. This man was one of the most
important leaders in the settlement of the Cattle Industry in Texas, New
Mexico and Colorado.
An outstanding book "Charles Goodnight, Cowman and Plainsman" written by
J.Evetts Haley, University of Oklahoma Press, 1936 New Print, 1949.
Hope this helps you some.

Actually it just occurred to me that this list would be a great starting
point to search for a suitable site for my proposed research in America. I
am looking at:
A region historically settled in about the 1860s which could be considered
part of the 'wild west' mythology.
A store/store manager's house within a new town in the region dating around
1870-1910 or into 1930.
If someone has already excavated the site with a database already available
all the better
I am looking at a site in west Texas which is closely linked to the
interstate cattle drives but it is a ranch house not a store/store managers
site.
Cheers Gaye

Hello, I'm Jim Tauber. While I am more of a lurker than a contributor to
this group - here is a brief introduction. I have a BS in Computer Science
and retired from corporate America. I am finishing a BA in Anthropology as a
mid life desire and in the spring I will begin my MA with a focus on
Historical Archaeology. Most of my research has been on Ireland and Irish
Immigrants to the US. My field work has been limited, but I have started
working with the 3d imaging of artifacts this past spring. I will likely be
asking more question over the next year as I actually have a chance to get
involved in some local field work.

With so many new and old friends signing on to HISTARCH in the last few
weeks, I think introductions are needed. I'll start:
I am Anita Cohen-Williams, your friendly list owner and bouncer of Histarch.
I have a BA in Anthropology and a Masters in Library Science. I have been
running Histarch since 1994 as a discussion list on historical archaeology.
I also run ArchaeoSeek (http://www.archaeoseek.com), an archaeological
network, SUB-ARCH (a discussion list for underwater archaeology), and an
archaeology blog, Archaeology Online ( http://archaeology.blogspot.com).
My main business is search engine optimization (SEO) for websites and social
media management.
Feel free to ask me any questions, as I am now a cybrarian.
