The mining industry in North America is an important subject for
archaeological investigation due to its rich and conflicted
history. It is associated with the opening of the frontier and the
rise of the United States as an industrial power but also with
social upheaval, the dispossession of indigenous lands, and
extensive environmental impacts. Synthesizing fifty years of
research on American mining sites that date from colonial times to
the present, Paul White provides an ideal overview of the field for
both students and professionals. Case studies are taken from a wide
range of contexts, from eastern coal mines to Alaskan gold fields,
and special attention is paid to the domestic and working lives of
miners. Exploring what material artifacts can tell us about the
lives of people who left few records, White demonstrates how
archaeologists contribute to understanding mining legacies.
