Scraping Our Way To The Past: A Methodological Approach For Chinese Rural Work Camps (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mary L. Maniery.

Recovering meaningful information from ephemeral, short-term work camps in the west is challenging, given the brief occupation time, absence of shelters other than tents or portable structures, and informal layout and design. One methodological approach that has proved effective for research at camps with shallow or no subsurface deposits focuses on exposing and investigating the horizontal deposits across the sites. Archaeological studies of Chinese occupied camps related to mining, railroad...

Site Formation and the location of Chinese Structures in Wyoming (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only A. Dudley Gardner.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Theories abound regarding defining inside and outside spaces in archaeology. In Wyoming, Chinese site formation is similar to elsewhere and so is site destruction. In Wyoming, intentional fires like in the case of the 1885 Chinese Massacre, looting of the sites, reconstruction, urban development, and infrastructure construction...

Small Chinese Settlements in the southwest Pacific: a brief look at Chinese Bakeries and Households in the Southwest Pacific 1890-1930 (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dudley Gardner.

In addition to the spread of Chinese populations around the Pacific Rim in the nineteenth century, Chinese manufactured goods also were sold throughout the South Pacific. Fijian’s, Tongans, and Maoris purchased Chinese Ceramics and iron implements. The Chinese immigrants who lived on islands in the region also provided needed services. Bakeries and grocery stores and retail stores ran by Chinese owners carried goods manufactured in China. The end result was an archaeological signature that...

"A Son Is Always a Boy": Chinese Ideals of Male Elderhood (2022)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Emily Dale.

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. Over the past decade, the archaeology of the Chinese diaspora has embraced new methods, theories, and questions for investigating the lives of the men, women, and children of America’s 1800s and 1900s Chinese populations. As with archaeology in general, however, Chinese diaspora archaeology has largely...

Spatial Relationships at Ethnic Chinese Dominated Section Stations in the Western United States (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Polk.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Arming the Resistance: Recent Scholarship in Chinese Diaspora Archaeology" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. My research into Chinese Railroad Worker archaeology on the Central Pacific has focused on section station life in the 1870s into the 1890s in Utah and Nevada. These investigations and others have pointed out elements of the distinctive Chinese ethnic material culture, the specific housing provided by...

This is an abstract from the "Heritage Sites at the Intersection of Landscape, Memory, and Place: Archaeology, Heritage Commemoration, and Practice" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Summit Camp was occupied by Chinese railroad workers from 1864 to 1869. It was the longest occupied camp associated with the building of the transcontinental railroad. Workers from the camp excavated a series of tunnels through the granite bedrock of the Sierra Nevada...

Taking Time to Relax: Leisure Activities of Chinese Railroad Workers (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah Heffner.

Chinese who worked on the transcontinental railroads often endured long hours of dangerous, backbreaking work. A typical work week lasted from Monday to Saturday, sunrise to sunset. Sundays were spent washing and mending clothes and participating in leisure activities. Railroad workers carried few belongings with them as they had to be able to quickly pack up camp and move to the next construction stop. This paper explores how Chinese railroad workers entertained themselves with few material...

Tastes for New and Old: Fish Consumption in the Market Street Chinatown (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ryan Kennedy.

The Market Street Chinatown was a bustling Chinese community in nineteenth-century San Jose, California, and its residents mixed the traditional and novel throughout their lives. This is especially the case in food practices, where Market Street’s residents consumed Chinese foods alongside new ingredients from North America. In this paper, I explore how fish consumption among Market Street’s residents was driven by notions of taste in nineteenth-century Southern China, where fish played a...

Uncovering Mining Company Habitation Sites Through Public Archaeology (2022)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Tatiana L (1,2) Watkins.

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. In the late nineteenth century, members of the Chinese diaspora operated mining companies that occupied many gold-bearing deposits in Grant County, Oregon, including within the confines of the now Malheur National Forest. One of the many companies who leased claims was the Ah Yee Mining Company, operating in...

Using GIS and Lidar to Re-imagine Historic Immigrant Chinese Placer Mining Landscapes (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only don hann.

The Kam Wah Chung building is a National Historic Landmark with a trove of artifacts and documents recovered from the historic "Chinatown" in John Day, Oregon. Interpretation of the site has been hampered by loss of associated immigrant Chinese gold mining remains due to later development. Recent work in the neighboring Malheur National Forest has identified an extensive placer mining complex with associated Chinese artifacts and features. The mining complex was located using lidar and GIS...

Women and Children in the Evanston Chinatown (2004)

DOCUMENT Full-Text A. Dudley Gardner. Martin Lammers. Laura Pasacreta. Seth Panter.

In the later part of the nineteenth century, Chinese communities in the northern Rocky Mountains and Plains could be characterized by one basic generalization: few Chinese women and children lived in these communities. Alberta, Canada, in 1891, had one Chinese woman living in the Province and by 1901, when the next census was taken; she had moved away (Alberta Census 1891, 1901). More typical of the interior west were places like Silver Bow County, Montana, or Rock Springs, Wyoming, where one or...
