19th Century Chinese Railroad Worker Habitation Structures on the Central Pacific Railroad (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ann Polk. Michael Polk.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Following the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, there was an immediate need to provide maintenance crews along the line. The Central Pacific Railroad met this need, largely, through the employment of ethnic Chinese workers in Utah, Nevada and California, a pattern that continued for more than 20 years. These workers were provided with bunkhouses and, sometimes,...

Abalone Shell, Broken Pots, Hearths, Windbreaks and Archival Research: Clues to Identifying 19th Century California Abalone Colection and Processing Sites on the Channel Islands (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Judy Berryman.

The Chinese abalone and fisheries in California developed in the late 1850s, flourished, and then delcined in the early 1900s. The majority of California Chinese studies have focused on immigrant populations in established urban Chinatowns. Much less attention has been given to economic strategies and survival mechanisms associated with rural communities, specialized labor camps, or fishing camps. Many of these industries were first developed in the West by Chinese immigrants only to be taken...

The Acculturation of Opiates: Changing Cultural Attitudes Towards The Use Of Opium And Its Derivatives In the Mid-19th- Early 20th Century American West (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Leo A. Demski.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Arriving in 1848 for the California Gold Rush, Chinese immigrants brought many cultural traditions new to the US, including opium smoking. Although use of opium was already widespread via its medicinal forms (laudanum and morphine), smoking/ingestion was not seen as a beneficial or therapeutic activity. Instead, views of opium as...

After Construction: Railroad Workers Living On The Central Pacific In The 1870s (2022)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Polk.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Diverse and Enduring: Archaeology from Across the Asian Diaspora" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The nature of living conditions for both Euro-American and Chinese Railroad Workers during the construction of the Central Pacific is generally known. Evidence suggests that worker shelter consisted of a combination of dugouts, ramshackle huts, and railroad cars. After this period, during the 1870s, there is...

After the Railroad: An examination of Chinese in Sandpoint, Idaho (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Molly Swords. Mark Warner. Margaret Clark.

Like other western American railroad towns, Sandpoint, Idaho, saw an influx of thousands of Chinese workers during railroad construction in the twilight of the 1800s. Most workers moved on as construction of the railroad continued down the line. Examination of a Chinese laundry excavation provides an interesting snapshot of the lives those workers who stayed and made Sandpoint their home. This business was also a residence and the collection provides an opportunity to study both the private and...

Another Sherd from the Transitional period found in New Mexico (2022)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Linda R. Pomper.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. At the SHA Conference In Boston in 2020, I presented a sherd of Chinese porcelain found in a 17th- century settlement in New Mexico. This site was settled by the Spanish, and then abandoned in 1680. Another sherd which turned up recently is a fit for this sherd, and confirms that both were part of the same piece of Transitional...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Molly Boeka Cannon. Jon Stein. Nick Lammay. J. Daniel Murphy. Kenneth P Cannon.

This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Thousands of Chinese immigrants labored skillfully to complete the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad in the American West during the 19th-century, bringing with them mementos of home, relying on an international supply chain, reaching across the Pacific Ocean, home to China, for foods, material goods, and support. Much of the archaeological assemblage from railroad and mining...

Documentary and archaeological evidence from the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon indicates large numbers of immigrant Chinese gold miners lived and worked in this area during the 19th century. Populations persisted into the early 20th century as well, contrary to narratives suggesting rural goldfields...
