Thanks for the tip.
Do you (or anyone else out there) have any specific
information pertaining to tanyards or tannery operations in
the late 1700s or early 1800s? I have access to an
unstudied site whereon there was a tanning operation from
1797 to 1856. There is a cursory description of the
operation based on 1857 court records. I have little
knowledge as to how such operations were commonly organized
or the best approach for an archeological search of the
site. Any help to get a study started in the right
direction would be appreciated. James Beall. Internet =
