Doug:
Margaret Kennedy excavated a dump created by Japanese prostitutes in Blairmore, Alberta back in the late 1970's. It dated from 1904-1939. She wrote a wonderful, very detailed archaeological report. I forgot how I got a copy. I believe she's a member of this listserve. Perhaps she'll respond. If not, I could make a copy of my copy, although the graphics won't be very good, considering the fact that my copy was made back in about 1985.

Subject: Japanese archaeology
Hey folks,
I am a PhD student at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, and am
excavating the remains of a Japanese salmon fishing settlement on an island
in the Fraser River, dating ca. 1900-1942. I have been attempting to gather
together background material and am looking for the following things:
1. Three unpublished reports that have been mentioned either in other
publications or on this list in the past:
a) Bibb, Leland
1997 Japanese Ceramics from the Home Avenue Dump, San Diego, California.
Manuscript in possession of author.
b) Seifert, Steven
1984 The Japanese Presidio Community. Manuscript, Santa Barbara Trust for
Historic Preservation, Santa Barbara.
c) Stenger, Alison T.
1986 Japanese Ceramics from Chinese Sojourner Sites. Paper presented at the
Society for Historical Archaeology Annual Meeting, Sacramento, California.
2. Other reports relating to the archaeology of 19th and 20th century
Japanese outside of Japan. I am familiar with the work at Manzanar, Walnut
Grove (Rice Bowls in the Delta), the Marshall Islands, as well as Gardner's
work in Wyoming.
If anyone has copies of these unpublished items that they are willing to
send me, I would greatly appreciate it. It seems the archaeology of the
Japanese in North America is an underground endeavour in more ways than one.
Thanks,
