  • A Historic Context for the Archaeology of Industrial Labor in the State Of
    A Historic Context for the Archaeology of Industrial Labor in the State of Maryland Robert C. Chidester Masters of Applied Anthropology Program Department of Anthropology University of Maryland at College Park Submitted to the Maryland Historical Trust In Partial Fulfillment of a Maryland Heritage Internship Grant December 2003 Revised Version, March 2004 Abstract This report presents a historic context for industrial labor in the state of Maryland. Industrial labor is defined as the socially-governed activity of transforming nature for the purpose of the efficient processing and manufacture of commercial goods. Labor’s heritage as represented in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties, the Maryland Archaeological Site Records, and selected secondary sources is surveyed following the geographical and chronological guidelines presented in the Maryland Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan (Weissman 1986). Types of industry and labor, class relations, the labor movement and the social and domestic lives of industrial laborers are all considered; additionally, industrialization in Maryland is linked to other important themes in the state’s history. An overview of the archaeology of industrial labor is given for each of Maryland’s 23 counties and Baltimore City, emphasizing important excavations. An analysis of the state of labor archaeology in Maryland is given, along with suggestions for important research themes that have been thus far unaddressed or poorly addressed by Maryland archaeologists. i Table of Contents Abstract.....................................................................................i

Washington, D.C. 20037 June 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report describes the results of three years of archeological inventory and evaluation on newly acquired lands totaling 792 acres at the Antietam National Battlefield (ANTI). The work was carried out for the National Park Service, National Capital Region, and ANTI by The Louis Berger Group, Inc. The project is part of the Systemwide Archeological Inventory Program, which has been developed to address the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act, Executive Order 11593, and the Archeological Resources Protection Act. Because the Antietam Battlefield has already been so well studied, the project focused on answering particular questions about certain properties rather than a broad exploration of the landscape. The survey focused on known historic-period farms and tenant houses, either still standing or shown on historical maps, and on recovering military artifacts from certain areas where particular information was sought about the battle.
