I see Mark has posted - another source to check for Minnesota that is
easily accessible is the From Site to Story webpage. There are links to
projects that have taken place in the Twin Cities (and throughout the
state) as well as lists of CRM reports.

Folks;
I am assembling a paper on urban historical archaeology in the Midwest
and
would like some help finding CRM studies and lightly published,
unpublished, or in-progress papers, theses, or dissertations. The
issue of
what defines the "Midwest" is relatively flexible in my mind,
conservatively
including the Old Northwest territories (i.e., the full range of what
became
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, as well as the
eastern
half of Minnesota), but in some minds it includes the space from
Pittsburgh
to the Dakotas south into Upland Kentucky. Given the relative paucity
of
material, I'm inclined to define this expansively rather than narrowly.
Likewise, I can see defining urbanity relatively broadly as well.
I have work represented like Jane Baxter in Chicago, Tim Baumann in
St.
Louis, Paul Shackel and Chris Finnell in New Philadelphia, and Mike
Nassaney in Battle Creek, but there must be some more fine CRM studies
in
particular that are momentarily escaping me. If you might know of
some
work that is in the grey literature or otherwise not widely
published--and
please feel free to self-promote--please pass on a citation and ideally
a
portion of the piece or some way I can get to it without a trip to
every
SHPO archive in the region. You can reply to me off-list, and I can
always
post the full list of citations later if folks have any interest.
Thanks,
Paul
