From the early colonial period to the close of World War II, life
in North America was predominantly agrarian and rural.
Archaeological exploration of farmsteads unveils a surprising
quantity of data about rural life, consumption patterns, and
migrations across the continent. Mark Groover offers both case
studies and an overview of current trends in farmstead archaeology
in this exciting new work. He also proposes a research design and
makes numerous suggestions for evaluating (and re-evaluating) the
significance of farmsteads as an archaeological resource. His
chronological survey of farmstead sites throughout numerous regions
of North America provides fascinating insights to students,
cultural resource management professionals, or general readers
interested in learning more about what material culture remains can
teach us about the American past. Farmstead archaeology is a
rapidly expanding component of historical archaeology. This book
offers important lessons and information as more sites become
victims of ever-accelerating development and urbanization.
