Megan. Sagebrush did a detailed recording of a shaft lime kiln in
northern Utah, near Mantua and the documentation and photographs can be found in
the HABS/HAER collection at the Library of Congress online. The URL for the
Mantua Kiln is: _http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/hh/item/UT0321/_

The URL for the 37 lime kilns posted in the collection ONLINE is:

We also recently recorded a double lime kiln along the Transcontinental
Railroad in Morgan, Utah, about 20 miles from Ogden. I can send you the
report if you are interested. It was built prior to construction of the
railroad, but likely continued operation, and was, perhaps, even enhanced by
development that occurred in the area after the railroad was built.

Hello,
I worked on an excavation in Maryland that revealed what looks like a lime
kiln, which is believed to be associated with an 18th/19th c. plantation.
While I've found some historical and technical information on lime kilns, I
haven't found many archaeological reports that address this type of
structure. I know that a similar question was asked on this listserv about a
decade ago, and some of the responses have been useful, but if anyone has more
recent info, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance -
Megan
