Hello,
I’m doing my master’s thesis on a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp, and I need some help. What I’m doing is looking at luxury spending amongst the enrollees. The camp that I’m working with is amazing. It’s located in Pennsylvania, in the Allegheny National Forest. It was the second camp ever built in the nation, and still has standing structures. This summer I excavated portions of the camp and came up with a phenomenal sample of the camp’s material culture. The problem I’m having, is locating other CCC camps that have been dug. In order to understand the larger pattern of luxury spending, I have to compare it to other sites. I’ve already got a few non-CCC Great Depression sites, as well as some pre-Great Depression sites that I’m looking at to understand buying strategies in the Great Depression. I’m having trouble locating other CCC camps that have been excavated. What I need is artifact inventories from CCC camps to compare my data to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
