Symposium: Historical Archaeology of Mining-Related Sites

Although this symposium will focus upon those mining localities in the

Papers focusing upon theoretical and methodological issues related to the
archaeological analysis of  mining sites will be gladly accepted
regardless of geographic locale.  Papers should have a clearly specified
research-oriented perspective, and are welcome at any research
stage (from initial project description and orientation, through final
synthesis).  The range of topics already solicited include demographic
shifts related to mining enterprises, the analysis of natural and
cultural site formation processes from historic sites, the various types
of documentary data available to scholars in pursuit of mining-related
studies, and the roles of CRM and governmental agencies in studying
historic mining sites.  Geographic locales so far include various areas
throughout interior and coastal Alaska, southern Yukon Territory, and Utah.
 
Paper presentations will be limited to 20 minutes.
 
Abstracts:  must not exceed 100 words.   Abstract format must be one
computer disk copy (WordPerfect or MS Word) and one hardcopy.  HOWEVER,
these latter requirements will be handled by Robin Mills if they are sent
via e-mail to his address below.
