Actually, we recently excavated a print shop in Salt Lake City as part of a courthouse excavation.  It was a discovery since we didn't have information, at the time, that the structure was a print shop.  We discovered this while excavating it.  We are about to begin analysis of the material recovered from this and adjoining properties.  I can't tell you a lot about it yet.  We know what we recovered, but have not yet analyzed our data and are still in the process of processing the artifacts recovered.  We would be glad to discuss this with the student.

Subject: archaeology of print shops and media


Dear colleagues,
Can you help me with sources for an undergraduate student who is interested
n researching the archaeology of print media: books, texts, newspapers, and
ibraries? He is inspired by Mark Leone and Barbara Little's account and
nalysis of the Green Print Shop in Annapolis. 
Are there other historical archaeology projects that have excavated print
hops, newspaper or publishing houses, or libraries?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions - 
-Barb
