Also, in 2000, GAI Consultants, Inc. (GAI) conducted a Phase III archaeological data recovery of the ca. 1880s A. Wiese & Company tannery in Pittsburgh.
Archeological investigations focused on the interior layout and construction details of the Wiese tannery that included examination of the lime vats,
leach vats, tanning vats, and related drainage system. This work uncovered significant data regarding a small urban tannery of the period permitting comparisons with historical trade publications and other tannery projects regarding the construction of similar features.

Alan Beauregard prepared a report on a small early 19th-century tannery near Penn Yan, New York, for the New York State Department of Transportation under contract to the Public Archeology Facility at SUNY Binghamton in 1983 or 1984. He subsequently used that material in his master's thesis at Binghamton around 1986.

Subject: Information on historic tanneries
Hi Everyone!
I am hoping someone can help me out a little bit. I am looking for information on historic tanneries, specifically any grey literature/CRM reports dealing with archaeology or geophysical testing done at one.. I am working on a project that involves a ca 1825 tannery in Western PA, and would like to have something to use for comparative purposes. Thanks for your help, feel free to respond to the group, or directly to me.
Sincerely,
Beth Hoag, RPA
