Grant,

There have bee quite a few postings on HISTARCH concerning this topic
(it seems like a thread was going earlier this year).  The archives
might be worth a look:

http://lists.asu.edu/archives/histarch.html

A good source on the topic is:

Wagner, M. J. and M. R. McCorvie (eds.)
1992  The Archaeology of the Old Landmark:  Nineteenth Century Taverns
along the St. Louis-Vincennes Trace in Southern Illinois.  Illinois
Department of Transportation. Center for American Archaeology,
Kampsville, Illinois.

You may also want to contact Mark Branstner at [log in to unmask] who
looked at a tavern site in SW Michigan.  I am not sure what the status
of the report is, but Mark could tell you.

Good Luck,

Sean Dunham

I am interested in more information about the John Hatchett Tavern
site. Is
there a site report or paper(s) available for the site? I am currently
completing analysis on a late 18th - early 19th century tavern in
central
Kentucky known as "John Higbee's Tavern Stand." I would appreciate
references for archaeological reports or papers dealing with taverns
from
the same time period. Also has anyone heard of the term "Tavern Stand"
before? Is there a difference between a "Tavern" and a "Tavern Stand"?
