Subject: Boardinghouse sites?


HISTARCHers,

A student of mine is writing a thesis on the archaeology of a late-19th
century residential boardinghouse-hotel and is looking for references to
reports on similar sites.

I'm encouraging her to be less concerned with finding comparative
assemblages, than in tracking down imaginative interpretive/theoretical
approaches. Seems like there's little new under the sun since Beaudry et
al. dug up the Boott.

Thanks.
