This comprehensive guide provides the reader with basic information
of the most common types of structures, sites, and objects
encountered in industrial archaeology. These include bridges,
railroads, roads, waterways, several types of production and
extraction factories, water and power generating facilities, and
others. Each chapters contains a brief introduction to the
technology or features of each class of installation, illustrations
with characteristics that help identifying important elements of
the type, and a glossary of common terms. Two chapters offer
valuable guidance on researching industrial properties and
landscapes. For students, avocational archaeologists, and cultural
resource management surveys, this volume will be an essential
reference.
