Summary

"The study of farmstead archaeology is a key component of historical archaeology. In this book, Mark Groover discusses the archaeological exploration of farmsteads as an important aspect of understanding and interpreting data about the lives, consumption patterns, and transcontinental migrations of Americans in history. In this thorough work, he offers both case studies and an overview of current trends in farmstead archaeology, while simultaneously proposing a research design and making numerous suggestions for evaluating (and re-evaluating) the significance of farmsteads as an archaeological resource."--BOOK JACKET.
