Marie,
I may have mentioned last week (although I could have been on ACRA at the
time) that a trash pit exposed at the Ballast Point Whaling Station
(CA-SDI-12,953) was carefully excavated and all the soil pouted into a shaker screen
with window mesh and waterscreened. The entire contents were dried on screens,
then taken to my house where I painfully sorted out all the plant remains,
fish bones, pins, fish hooks, tiny fasteners, beads, buttons, and other remains.
This analysis is still in process.

On a recent excavation in SW Ohio, we took 5-gallon bulk samples from a
19th-cen. Anglo-American refuse pit. We have the opportunity to float one
or
more of these samples. Can the HISTARCH community offer references or
articles concerning the results and intrepretations of
faunal/botantical/artifact
recovery from float samples from similar contexts?
Best,
Marie Pokrant
