Greetings: Here are a few more references re discussion threads from last week. multiethnic communities/households: Weaver, Guy, Jeffrey L. Holland, Patrick H. Garrow, and Martin B. Reinbold 1993 The Gowen Farmstead: Archaeological Data Recovery at Site 40DV401 (Area D), Davidson County, Tennessee. Submitted to Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority, Nashville, Tennessee. Prepared by Garrow and Associates, Memphis, Tennessee. McLeod, K. David (editor) 1983 The Garden Site, Dklg-16: A Historical and Archaeological Study of a Nineteenth Century Metis Farmstead. Department of Cultural Affairs and Historical Resources, Winnipeg, Manitoba. archaeology of health: I do not know the full citation, but the 1996 Studies in Northeast Historical Archaeology journal contains a detailed article on a medical equipment assemblage recovered from a pharmacy or physician's office. also, Blakely, Robert L. and Judith M. Harrington (editors) 1997 Bones in the Basement: Postmortem Racism in Nineteenth-Century Medical Training. Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, D.C. Cabak, Melanie A., Mark D. Groover, and Scott J. Wagers 1995 Health Care and the Wayman A.M.E. Church. Historical Archaeology 29(2):55-76. On a different matter: In December '97 I was asked to be the editor for Features and Profiles, the newsletter of the Archaeological Society of South Carolina. The newsletter is distributed six times a year. During 1998 I hope to include several items on historical archaeology in each newsletter. The society also produces an annual journal, South Carolina Antiquities, that usually contains at least one or two historical archaeology articles per annual issue. Everyone on the list is invited to visit the ASSCC's webpage at http://pages.prodigy.com/assinc/index.htm ; it's not too shabby for a privately maintained site and contains a lot of archaeology information, links, and current issues of the newsletter.
