Carl,
Michigan Tech has looked at some saw mills as well in the not so
distant past. I have attached a link to their website that lists some
of the theses on the topic. Two that come to mind are by Robert McQueen
and Julia Blair.

Mark talks about his saw mill in an article in the Michigan
Archaeologist -
Branstner, Mark

Settlement on the South Shore of Lake Superior. The Michigan
Archaeologist 45(2):36-57
Cheers,

Has anyone on this list done investigations on railroad tie-hack
camps?
If so, I'd like to know:
1. What types of surface manifestations indicated to you that these
were
tie-hack camps?
2. What types of archival sources, if any, did you use to locate or
confirm the location of the camp?
3. Has anyone written a historic context, or a least the portion of
the
Multiple Property form for the history context, for one of these
sites?
I've not worked with these types of sites before, but now I need to
know
something about them. If anyone still has a copy of the site report
they
did for the camp, I would very much welcome a copy.

If you could contact me off-line, I'd like to hear more about your
sawmill
project.
Cheers!
