DOCUMENT Citation Only John H. Sprinkle.

On Presidential Land: Archaeology of Roosevelt’s Neighbors, Tenants, and Workers (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Emma I Wiley. April M. Beisaw.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Preservation of presidential homes as national historic sites helps keep alive the legacy of our former leaders. Tours, exhibits, and other interpretive materials recall the president’s rise to political and social power, but often ignores those who shared the same landscape, some of whom worked with and for the president. Archaeological research on presidential lands, such as the Home of...
