The Council for Northeast Historical Archaeology (CNEHA) has had some great
papers over the last couple of years at their annual conferences. Wade
catts of John Millner asociates and Terry Kline of URS Griener along with
George Miller have been heading these talks. They are very friendly and
generous with their research.

Subject: Farmstead Archaeology
>I am seeking information on references to and other researchers working on
>nineteenth and early twentieth century farmsteads. The particular problem
>area I am looking at is the relationship between farm
production/consumption
>and its relationship to material culture assemblages from historical sites.
>In short, theoretically there is a continuum from subsistence farming to
>commercial agriculture, and the ratio of domestic production/consumption to
>commercial production/consumption for a particular farmstead reflects the
>degree of self-sufficiency from or dependency upon commercial markets. I am
>trying to determine quantitative measures and ways to assess the degree to
>which farmsteads are integrated with the market economy.

>Any info on published and non-published works relating to this area and/or
>researchers working along these lines will be greatly appreciated. You may
