Howdy Fellow HISTARCH listerv members,

     My name is Dallas and I am a graduate student in Heritage Management
at Texas Tech University.  I work primarily in Historical Archaeology and
am currently working on a west Texas cowboy site.  I have two questions
that hopefully some of you may be of assistance with.
     First, do any of you now of any papers or reports related to ranching
or cowboy archaeology?  I have only been able to locate a couple and this
seems strange to me, am I just missing something or are publications of
this sort just rare?  I have the Fontanna - Johnny Ward's Ranch (1962),
THC
- Walker Ranch report by Scurlock (1973), and one from U of A McGuire -
Rancho Punta de Agua (1979).  I also have a CRM report out of Nevada but
it
was little help.  If anyone could offer suggestions or assistance with
sources I would greatly appreciate it.
     Second, the cowboy camp has a large quantity of 45 caliber cartridges
without head stamps.  Does this mean they are loading their own maybe at
the headquarters?  If so I have been unable to find a source in support of
this theory.
     I greatly appreciate any help or insight.  Unfortunately due to
confidentiality issues I am unable to supply any pics or much of a
description beyond the vague description of a cowboy camp, possibly a
line-camp in western Texas dating to approximately 1890.  Thanks in
advance
for your responses.

-Dallas Ward
