Marge, I agree w/Keith. I have corresponded w/Greg Brown at the Dept of
Archaeological Research at Williamsburg (804-229-1000). He sent me a copy
of a report in 1993 and was completing a more comprehensive final report at
that time. Light's 1984 Investigation of blacksmith shops in Industrial
Archeology 10:55-68, is a useful general ref for shop layout. I have
worked recently w/other archs and historians on more recent smithies (mid
19th/20th centuries), presented a few papers on FS projects and am a hobby
blacksmith, so feel free to ask me any further questions.

I suggest trying the good folks at Colonial Willamsburg. They already
have done it and probably have all the info you need.
