- Title
MINING ASSEMBLAGES FROM THE EMPIRE MINE SHP, NEVADA COUNTY.
- Authors

- Abstract
Over the past five years, the Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) has been working at the Empire Mine State Historic Park in Nevada County. In the course of this work, the ASC evaluated four residential sites associated with mining operations within the park boundaries. Three of the sites date from the 1850s to the 1880s, and one from 1900-1920. I compare the assemblages from the four sites to identify changes in living and working conditions as mining operations evolved. This paper presents the results of the analysis and some of the issues in comparing sites of this type.
