Ethnic Chinese at Central Pacific Railroad Maintenance Camps (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael Polk.

The Central Pacific Railroad was completed in May 1869 due, in large part, to the work of thousands of ethnic Chinese railroad workers. After the railroad was complete, it was necessary to upgrade the railroad and carry out maintenance on the far flung transportation network. Railroad documents, previous excavations of ethnic Chinese worker camps in Nevada and recently recorded camps near Promontory Summit, Utah, show that Chinese workers continued to be employed for decades after 1869. It is...

Ethnic Markers and Comparative Approaches to the Asian Diaspora (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Douglas Ross.

Direct comparisons between Chinese and non-Chinese sites go back decades. However, most current Asian diaspora archaeology focuses on single-household or single-community case studies, with comparative work limited to using ethnically-linked artifacts to explore patterns of cultural persistence and change or present evidence for interethnic interaction with neighboring communities. Here, I argue that we need to spend more time conducting direct and detailed comparisons between households and...

Evanston Chinatown A Look At Food-ways And Diversity (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only A. Dudley Gardner.

The Evanston Chinatown was occupied from ca 1870 to 1922. Evanston is located in extreme southwestern Wyoming, in a valley drained by the Bear River. Excavations of this Chinatown have revealed a diversity of material cultural remains. Based on our findings n this paper we will present the diverse ways the Chinese immigrants adapted to living in Evanston. We will do this by examining the food ways of Chinese immigrants and looking at the macro and micro floral remains recovered from the site.

DOCUMENT Citation Only A. Dudley Gardner.

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 30 years have passed since extensive excavations occurred in the Chinatown destroyed by the Rock Springs Massacre of 1885. Thanks to reanalysis of the materials recovered and excavations undertaken in 2021, we have a fresh view of what actually happened in 1885 and how the Chinatown was rebuilt. This...

Exploring Healthcare Practices of Chinese Railroad Workers in North America (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Sarah C Heffner.

Chinese laborers on the North American transcontinental railroads performed dangerous and labor-intensive work, and many died or were seriously injured as a result of explosions, cave-ins, and severe and unpredictable weather. These workers received meager wages and may have faced additional health risks from ethnic violence and malnutrition. Little is known about how these individuals treated their injuries and ailments and, to this date, not a single document written by a Chinese railroad...

Exploring Surface Spatial Patterns of Ethnic Chinese Artifacts along the Central Pacific Railroad, Box Elder County, Utah (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kenneth Cannon. Houston Martin. Molly Cannon.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Immigrant Chinese workers represented the dominant work force in the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad (1863-1869). The archaeological record they left behind provides an important snapshot of the lives of these largely male work camps in the isolated desert of northwestern Utah. Funded by the National Park Service’s Underrepresented Community...

Exploring The Merchandise Of The Pon Yam Store In Idaho City: What Do We Tell The Public About Chinese Olives And Dracontomelon? (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mary Anne Davis. Susie Osgood.

The Boise National Forest and the Idaho City Historical Foundation formed a partnership to restore the Pon Yam Store to its original character as a nineteenth century Chinese merchant’s shop, and adapt the building for use as a museum and research center. An opportunity to excavate under the floor boards in the store by FS archaeologists and volunteers provided a look at artifacts not usually found in archaeological sites due to a lack of preservation. Firecrackers, incense sticks, and...

From Merchants to Miners: A Comparison of Store Ledgers and Archaeological Assemblages from Chinese Mining Sites in Idaho's Boise Basin (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Conner M. Weygint. Renae Campbell.

This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. During the second half of the nineteenth century, a gold rush in Southern Idaho’s Boise Basin spurred a large influx of people into the area. This population boom led to the Boise Basin surpassing Portland, Oregon, as the largest population center in the Pacific Northwest. Many of these miners were Chinese immigrants. These miners left behind a rich archeological record that yields...

How the Chinese Built Yosemite (And Nobody Knows About It) (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Barbara Bane.

Many of the nineteenth century roads that enabled Yosemite National Park to become a national treasure – Wawona Road, Glacier Point Road, Great Sierra Wagon Road, and the Washburn Road to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias ‒ were built by Chinese workers. Chinese cooks, servants, hotel employees, and farm/ranch hands contributed to the park’s tourist services into the early 20th century. Today, few traces of this Chinese presence remain: stone walls, roadbeds, bridges, and a handful of...

Idaho Gold: An Analysis of the Ophir Creek Brewery, a nineteenth century Chinese Community (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Heather L Sargent-Gross.

In 1860 gold was found in Pierce, Idaho. By 1870, the population of the Boise Basin alone reached 3,834 individuals, 46 percent of whom were Chinese. Many immigrants settled in Placerville, Idaho. Between 2002-2003 archaeologists at the Boise National Forest conducted excavations at the Ophir Creek Brewery. This work discusses excavations at the Ophir Creek Brewery, a part of town occupied by many of the Chinese immigrants. Analysis of the archaeological materials recovered from the Ophir Creek...

Identity and Isolation: The Material Realities of an (almost) Isolated Household in Sandpoint, Idaho (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Molly E Swords. Mark Warner.

A great deal of archaeology conducted on Chinese immigrant communities in the United States has documented the persistence of an array of traditional cultural practices after arrival. Recent work in Sandpoint, Idaho has identified a Chinese household/business whose material world contrasts with what many other archaeologists have previously reported on. What was identified was an amalgamation of continued use of Chinese goods with the incorporation of an array of western habits, particularly...
