Ron, if you saw the presentation at the 2001 SCA or 2005 SHA meetings that was my work at Soap Creek Pass on the Pickering Lumber Corporation. :-) If anyone is interested in pursuing this angle, there is a chapter on this project in the Brandon and Barile volume, Household Chores and Household Choices: Theorizing the Domestic Sphere in Historical Archaeology (Univ Alabama Press, 2005).

Subject: Re: Railroad/logging Camps
Here is another thought on railroad and some logging camps. They built
portable buildings that sometimes exhibited sled-type foundations that could be
hauled down roads or up on flatcars to relocate the camps. I watched a
presentation on California railroad camps which were simply abandoned out in a
forest
and, although rotten, the contents were in relatively pristine condition for
archaeology mapping and documentation.
