I am Bill Adams and I have a consulting firm in Oregon. I am also adjunct faculty in Anthropology at Oregon State University and in Asian and Pacific Island Studes at the University of Oregon. I received by PhD in Anthropology at Washington State University in 1976. My experience on historic sites is rather broad and includes French fur trading post (IN), Spanish mission Indians (GA), slave quarters (GA), planters (GA), tenant farmers (MI), military sites (Fort Yamhill, OR and Presidio of San Francisco, CA), gold rush sites (Skagway, Fairbanks, Pleasant Camp, AK), farmsteads (WA, NC), industrial sites (AK, MI). Overseas, I have studied early 20th century Bedouin cave dwellers in Israel, a Japanese airbase (Taroa) in the Marshall Islands, and a village in Yap. My general interest has been in using ethnoarchaeology (combining oral history, archival, and archaeological research) to study farming communities. Currently, I am researching American imports of window glass, recycle! d bottles, and other consumer goods from 1790-1860. I also am working on a restatement of the time lag problem which basically shows that the use of ceramics to date sites will make the sites 20-30 years older than the real occupation sites. Another project nearing completion is a dating method using nail populations. William H. Adams Adams & Associates P.O. Box 1177 Philomath, OR 97370-1177 USA 503-929-3102 -3264 fax
