Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores an archaeological excavation and analysis of a proposed detention facility site. The project's main focus was a cellar ruin interpreted to have been the site of a mid-eighteenth century Snuff and Tobacco Manufacture. The author presents archival data collected during the survey phase, and historical research conducted during the excavation phase which served to reinforce the hypothesis. Despite a lack of distinctive tools or architectural features associated with this activity, the author sought to identify the function of the cellar ruin as a Snuff and Tobacco Manufacture through extensive flotation samples and soil chemistry tests. The author posits that the most significant contribution of this work is to point out that it may not be possible to identify industrial activities of this type through the application of archaeological techniques. Through the application of several analytical techniques and the comparison of the results, the author offers a heuristic exercise to hone and refine analytical techniques.
