Psuty, Director Center for Coastal and Environmental Studies Doolittle Hall - Rutgers University New Brunswick, New Jersey 08903 Preface PREFACE The earlier Compendium of New Jersey Pine Barrens Literature (Buchholz and Good 1982) was developed to provide an easy-access reference system for policy-makers as well as the scientific community, and to provide a means for identifying areas of current research needs and thus provide directions for future scientific investigation. That Compendium provided an extensive data base for the natural sciences (botany, agriculture, forestry, geology and soi Is, hybrology, meteorology and zoology) but did not include the social sciences. This Compendium of Archaeology, Culture and History Literature of the New Jersey Pine Barrens is the result of the desire to expand the data base to include the much-needed information on the social sciences. This Compendium, 1 ike its natural sciences counterpart, is an annotated bibl iography of archaeological, cultural and historical literature on the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The primary sources of information were an extensive literature search using avai lable bibliographies and reference citations from the literature, and the contributions of many individuals who provided information on more obscure references. The data base was compi led on the DEC-20 computer network and support facil ities of the Center for Computer and Information Services, Rutgers University. Computerization of the data base greatly facilitates the compilation and continuous updating required to maintain a current data base and allows for maximum speed and ease of information retrieval. During the year of compilation, approximately 800 literature citations were encountered, and the majority of these were reviewed by the compi ler. Some citations were unavailable for review, and the information presented is as complete as possible. This data base will be continuously expanded and updated as new or previously missed information becomes available, and future editions of this Compendium will reflect these changes. Acknowledgements We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the numerous individuals and agencies who contributed significantly throughout this project. We gratefully acknowledge the Victoria Foundation for providing financial support throughout the compi lation, the New Jersey Pinelands Commission for their unyielding encouragement and for providing office and support faci I ities, and the Center for Computer and Information Services, Rutgers University, for providing computer time and support facilities. We gratefully acknowledge Bud Wilson, Barry Brady (New Jersey Pinelands Commission), Somers Corson (Cape May County Historical and Genealogical Society), David E. Fairbrothers, Lee Merri II and Beryl Robichaud (Rutgers University), Ted Gordon, Mary Hufford (American Folklife Center, Library of Congress), Jean Jones (Maurice River Historical Society), Pauline Miller and El izabeth Morgan (Ocean County Historical Society) for their constructive comments, critical reviews and contributions to the data base throughout the term of compilation. We sincerely appreciate the meticulous editorial reviews of the final draft by Will iam Bolger and Norma Good.

Bibliographic Sections. This Compendium consists of annotated reference citations presented under six bibliographic sections: General References, Landscape, Aboriginal Settlement, Industries, Community and Family Life, and Cultural Resource Surveys and Inventories. In each bibliographic section, references are presented alphabetically by authors' last names and chronologically by publication date. These sections are: 1. GENERAL REFERENCES contains multi-topic references and references which have a broader regional scope than the Pine Barrens. 2. LANDSCAPE contains travellers' descriptions and general accounts of the landscape and natural history of the Pine Barrens, including maps and land deeds. 3. ABORIGINAL SETTLEMENT contains all references pertaining to the I ives of successive groups of Pine Barrens inhabitants before European settlement, including language, customs, settlement patterns, religions, social structure and material culture. 4. INDUSTRIES contains historical accounts and descriptions of agricultural and industrial processes and other exploitations of Pine Barrens natural resources. 5. COMMUNITY AND FAMILY LIFE contains references which pertain primarily to the culture and society of the Pine Barrens inhabitants from first European settlement to the present, including reI igion, recreation, socio-economic structure, family life, government and mi I itary activities, ethnic settlement patterns and occupations, folklore, visual and performing arts, fraternal organizations. It lists biographies and diaries, government records, and local, county and regional historical accounts and collections. Introduction Page 2 6. CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEYS AND INVENTORIES lists studies which catalogue and assess prehistoric and historic sites within the Pine Barrens. Many of these works are products of governmental EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) and societal surveys. Citations containing information appropriate for inclusion in two or more bibliographic sections are presented in full only in the most appropriate bibliographic section, and are cross-referenced in other sections by authors names, publ ication date and the bibliographic section in which the full annotated citation is presented. I I. Citation Format and Content. Reference citations are presented in the following formats: For Books: Author(s) Name(s). Original Publication Date (Reprint Publication Date, if appropriate) Full Title. Original Publisher/s Name and City/State Address. (Reprint Publisher's Name and City/State Address, if appropriate) Number of Pages. For Periodical Articles: Author(s) Name(s). Publication Date. Full Title. Publication Name, Volume Number: Inclusive Pages. Every effort was made to review each reference first hand and thus the majority of citations are complete. For those few citations which were unavailable for review, the citation contains as much information as was available. Information (such as publication date) followed by a parenthetical question mark indicates that the information has not been verified. Where appropriate, citations are annotated with additional information by: (A) Location: a list of place names discussed or research sites used in the citation. For locations within the Pine Barrens proper, each location is followed by a parenthetical map index number(s) referring to the specific 7.5 minute U.S.G.S. topographic quadrangle(s) in which the place is located. (B) Keywords: a list of selected subject keywords in Introduction Page 3 addition to those provided in the citation's title. (C) Synopsis: an abstract summary describing the general content of the citation. I I I. Appendix and Indices. One appendix and three indices are provided to supplement information retrieval. These are: (A) I nformat i on Sources Append i x. The primary focus of this Compendium is the published (llhardll ) literature of potential wide-spread availability - books, degree theses and dissertations, government publ ications of wide distribution, and journal, magazine and newspaper articles. The abundance, diversity and highly varied distributions of handwritten and typed manuscripts, personal letters, journals, diaries and correspondence, deeds and maps and other "soft" I iterature prohibited the inclusion of such materials in this data base. The exclusion of such information is not a reflection of its value; such sources of information represent very valuable resources. In this vein the Information Sources Appendix was compiled to provide an
