Hello, I am writing a book dealing with the history of the Copper Range Company in Michigan. My question is this, short of a list of each building, site, and ethnic member associated with the company, what would archaeologists like to see in a history of a mining company? I am focusing on three themes: business, community life, and technology. Would an appendice listing archaeological references be helpful, a brief summation of remaining resources, what? What would archaeologists want historians to include if given a chance? Here's your oppurtunity to speak before a book is published. Thanks in advance for any input. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Motivated primarily by their own inner vision, a desire for riches, and an unbounded faith in the abundance of nature, they were willing to simply go out in the field, dig into the earth, and find out what was there" David Kruase __The Making of a Mining District__ Richard A.
