Ian: I talked to Jon Jouppien who's doing the work at Fralick's Tavern in
Niagara, Ontario. Unfortunately, they haven't published anything yet
(figures). However, we agreed to share information, which, if I ever
receive anything, I'll pass along to you as well. I still intend to call
the Thunderbird folks and see what they've got from the Blue Ball. As for
the King of Prussia Inn, the citation is:

We are currently preparing to complete a report on a combined
archaeological/architectural study of an early 19th century log-house
tavern in northern Delaware. The building iteslf was of considerable
interest, and we also excavated a large (c.10000 arifact pre-Civil War
deposit at the rear of the building. Several other taverns have been
investigated in the region.
I have been combing the literature for any synthetic/theoretical studies of
tavern archaeology, but with little success. Rockman and Rothschild
published a study in Historical Archaeology 18(2) in 1984, and there is a
very interesting paper by Jacqueline Pearce on some tavern assemblages in
England in Post Medieval Archaeology 34 (2000). There is also a relevant
paper by Kathleen Bragdon in Beaudry 1988 Documentary Archaeology in the
New World.
If anyone has encountered any other synthesis studies of tavern-related
archaeology, or know of particularly good individual site studies, I'd be
glad to hear of them. We are compiling a bibliography here which I would
be happy to send in return.
thanks
