Cartolandia was a cardboard shanty town in Tijuana, Baja California. I  
believe there were sociology studies of that town, perhaps through San Diego  State 
University.

Hello  HISTARCH,

I am trying to compile a comparative study for a research  design about  
an early 20th century hooverville (or  shantytown).  But I am having a  
hard time finding information  on similar excavations or sites. Perhaps  
I am just searching with  the wrong keywords?  ("Hooverville  
Archaeology" gets me  nowhere.)  Does anyone have any suggestions for  
references or  sites, or even just search terms?  The site is in the  
Pacific  Northwest, but I'll take any sites from around the country for   
comparison.

Thank you in advance for any assistance, it is very  much appreciated!
