Archaeological Investigations of an Early American Farmstead: The Wiley Smith Site (31MG2098) (2020)
This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

However, farmsteads represent a way of life that was once customary to much of the American population, and therefore deserve adequate archaeological attention. This Master's thesis studied a late...
