Dear HistArchers,

I will be teaching a similar class spring 2000 and am also interested in
thoughts on texts.  I have plenty of ID books (obviously mostly collector
books).  Any of you with lab manuals, we would love to hear from you.  I am
thinking of having the class put together a manual as part of the class, but
would really like to buy/pay for copying existing manuals to use as
examples/guides..

Have any of you used one/or more of Schlereth's books on Material Culture? I
like both of them.  What do you think of them for classroom use:

Schlereth, Thomas
1996   " Artifacts and the American Past"  AltaMira Press

or
Schlereth, Thomas (editor)
1999    "Material Culture Studies in America"  AltaMira Press

Thanks in advance for any input
