Elizabeth,

I will not be attending the SHA meetings and do not have anything to
contribute to your session.  However, you might fine my article "Ode to a
Lunch Bowl: The Atlantic Lunch as an interface between St, Mary's County
Maryland and Washington D.C." to be of interest.  It was published in
*Northeast
Historical Archaeology, *Vol. 13, pages 2-8.  It records how a couple of
merchants originally from rural St. Mary's County became outposts for people
from the county when they visited Washington D.C.  A hotel ware bowl marked
"Atlantic Lunch" recovered from a site in St. Mary's City led to finding
about this urban-rural connection.

Peace,
George L. Miller
