Terrace, Utah: Population 0

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Collaborative and Community Archaeology" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

In 2020 and 2021, staff with the Utah State Historic Preservation Office and Bureau of Land Management conducted excavations in the ghost town of Terrace, located in northwestern Utah. Key to this project was a deep collaborative effort between the archaeologists and the Chinese descendant community, organized through the Chinese Railroad Workers Descendants Association. By the end of the second field session we had fully excavated one Chinese home from the 1870s-1890s, and the excavation yielded significant amounts of information on various topics that bring to better focus the Chinese experience in Utah and on the railroad.
