Have you contacted the CCC museum in California? Its been a while but I
recall them having a pretty good collection of artifacts.

You might want to look into the Rabideau CCC Camp in northern Minnesota.
I'm not sure if there have been an actual archaeological excavations there
but it is a remarkably intact camp with 13 standing structures. When I
visited the camp in 2004 there was discussion by the USFS interpreter about
archaeological findings.

>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 w
