Mark,
You might contact Hartgen Archeological Associates in Rensselear, NY.
They've done some mitigations on contemporary, working-class houses in Troy,
NY on the RPI campus.

Hi Guys,
We are currently involved in a multi-year mitigation effort in East
St. Louis, Illinois, just across the river from St. Louis, Missouri.
Although most of the recovery effort is aimed a Cahokia-related
Mississippian sites, we are in the midst of recovering several
hundred privy and trash features related to working class occupation
of the area surrounding the old East St. Louis Stockyard complex.
Although there is some late nineteenth century material (ca.
1880-1900), an awful lof of the recoveries appear to relate to the
early twentieth century (ca. 1900-1930).
I am very interested in learning of any comparables in the published
or gray literature ... i.e., large-scale recoveries of urban working
class deposits, with particular interest in the ca. 1880-1930 period.
Any documents covering research designs, research questions, and/or
results would be of major interest.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
