We are undertaking a project involving excavation of a portion of an
extremely large (perhaps, at one time, several hundred meters by several
hundred meters in size) landfill site near Salt Lake City that dates ca.
1932-1942.  The portions of the dump which were excavated reached depths of
13 - 15 feet of solid domestic trash (very little soil mixed in).

Do persons on the list know of other landfill or large dump sites which have
been excavated and reported on?  Are there references which could be useful
as comparisons with such a site?  Rathjie's materials are known about.
Perhaps there are other helpful suggestions?  Thanks for any help which may
be offered.
