Synopsis

Industrial archaeology is a flourishing discipline which seeks to document America's rich industrial heritage through measured drawings, archival photographs, and contextual site histories. With increasing interest in historic industrial sites, a shortage exists of those capable of undertaking site documentation. Thus, the purpose of this book is to provide information for historians, archaeologists, architects, engineers, and other professionals. It is also intended for graduate courses and for professionals in public and private service wishing to gain a basic understanding of the discipline.

About this title

Review:

Case studies document the basics of performing industrial archaeology, from conducting research in federal, state and local archives to actually excavating and employing land surveying techniques. This technical guide will specifically interest libraries connected with college-level archaeology programs: it provides the specific details lacking in many guides and packs in plenty of examples and tested, technical advice. -- Midwest Book Review
