“Archaeologies of Industrializing California” will look at the complex
relationship between labor and capital in post-1870 California. Up until
recently, the archaeology of work in California has been characterized by
studies of mining frontiers and labor camps. This session’s papers will seek
to broaden the notion of work as well as explore the implications of
discussing different forms of labor in historical archaeology. One proposed
method of expanding this discourse is to critically examine the
relationships formed at these sites; what, for instance, can material
culture and landscape analyses tell us about the intersections of class,
gender, ethnicity, and race at these sites? A wide variety of locales of
work in this region and during this time period will be considered,
including (but not limited to) the tourism industry, utopian communities,
and brothels.
