Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, large numbers of people
from mainland China emigrated to the United States and other
countries seeking employment. Termed "overseas Chinese," they made
lasting contributions to the development of early communities, an
impact which has only begun to be recognized in recent years.
"Chinatowns," rural mining claims, work camps for railroad and
other construction activities, salmon canneries and shrimp camps,
laundries, stores, cook shacks, cemeteries, and temples are only
some of the sites where traces of their presence can be found. In
recent years, numerous archaeological and historical investigations
of the overseas Chinese have taken place, and "Hidden Heritage"
presents the results of some of those studies.
