Hi Sam,

Dr. Stacy Kozakavich did a fascinating study of a Marxist utopian commune
outside of Sequoia National Forest in California. Here is a link to her
dissertation:

She also published an article in Historical Archaeology on a different
utopian commune, which can be found using the link below. I believe that
entire edition of Historical Archaeology was on utopian/intentional
communities:

Best,
