Davis Division of Environmental Analysis, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet 200 Mero Street, Frankfort, KY 40622 2013 Kentucky Archaeological Survey The Kentucky Archaeological Survey is jointly administered by the Kentucky Heritage Council (State Historic Preservation Office) and the University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology. Its mission is to provide a service to other state agencies, to work with private landowners to protect archaeological sites, and to educate the public about Kentucky=s rich archaeological heritage. Kentucky Heritage Council The mandate of the Kentucky Heritage Council is to identify, preserve, and protect the cultural resources of Kentucky. The Council also maintains continually- updated inventories of historic structures and archaeological sites and nominates properties to the National Register of Historic Places. By working with other state and federal agencies, local communities, and interested citizens, the Council seeks to build a greater awareness of Kentucky=s past and to encourage the long-term preservation of Kentucky=s significant cultural resources. Through its various programs (e.g., Main Street, Grants, Publications, Rural Preservation, Civil War Initiative, Conferences), the Council strives to show how historic resources contribute to the heritage, economy, and quality of life of all Kentuckians. University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology The University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology has a mission to educate students and promote scholarly research in the field of archaeology. The Department also is charged by state law with enforcing and administering the State Antiquities Act, which prohibits the destruction of archaeological sites on state and municipal lands. It maintains comprehensive inventory files and records on archaeological sites in the Commonwealth through the Office of State Archaeology, and supports the major state curation repository for archaeological collections (the William S. Webb Museum of Anthropology). ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for the opportunity to work on this project. I am most appreciative of Eric J. Schlarb, Lori C. Stahlgren, Ronnie J. Hazelett III, Jason Hodge, Jason Ross, and Brian Mabelitini, for their diligent fieldwork.

  • Civil War Crimean Ovens: Origins, Models, and Modifications
    Copyright © 2012, Anatoly Policastro, All world rights reserved. Reprinted with permission Civil War Crimean Ovens: Origins, Models, and Modifications by Anatoly Policastro 20 March 2012 Starting in 1861, the wintertime Union field tent hospitals of the U.S. Civil War often used subterranean heating systems known as Crimean Ovens. From where did this name originate, and what was the above-ground, exterior firebox’s appearance on one end of the tent, as well as the chimney’s shape and construction on the opposite exterior? Although there were specific models followed for the construction of such heating features, it is possible that each camp built their heating systems according to their own abilities, available materials, and skilled manpower. The name, as well, would be difficult to link directly to the Crimean War, although there are some theories as to why this name arose. The system under discussion was basically a firebox, or oven, on the outside of the tent, with a shallow, brick-lined, sheet-metal-covered trough running down the center of the tent’s interior, and ending in a chimney on the opposite exterior side of the tent. The tents were placed on ground with slight inclines, allowing the hot air to naturally rise and escape out the flue. Specifically, Dr. Charles Tripler, Surgeon and Medical Director of the Army of the Potomac, writes in a letter of November 1861 the following description of “a modification of the Crimean Oven”, devised and put into operation by Surgeon McRuer, the surgeon of General Sedgewick’s Eighth Brigade: “A trench 1 foot wide and 20 inches deep to be dug through the center and length of each tent, to be continued for 3 or 4 feet farther, terminating at one end in a covered oven fire-place and at the other in a chimney.

  • The Tent Stove Book
    1 The Tent-Stove-Book oder Das Zeltofenbuch - von „Leichtgewicht“ - Berlin 2010 - 361 Fotos - 27 Zeichnungen Vorwort: Suchte ich bei www.google.de nach „Zeltofen“, wurde ich mit einer Vielzahl von Ergebnissen konfrontiert (März 2010 rund 34.100), gab ich „tentstoves“ ein, waren es 123, nahm ich aber die Alternative „tent stove“, waren es 246.000 Ergebnisse. Doch nirgends fand ich einen Zusammenhang zwischen den einzelnen Zeltöfen. Das französische Wort für Zeltofen, „Four de la Tente“ kannte das Internet nicht, suchte ich in der römischen Antike auf Latein „Fornax Tenti“ - auch nichts… Wie kam ich nun dazu, ein Buch über den Zeltofen (pl. Zeltöfen) zu schreiben? Ein Wort, das noch nicht einmal im Duden oder bei Wikipedia zu finden ist. Da muss ich ein wenig ausholen. 2 Viele Canadier- oder Kajakpaddler, Camper, Trekker, Bogenschützen, Angler, Jäger und LARP-Spieler haben oftmals eines gemeinsam: das Genießen des Abendlichen Lagerfeuers. Holzfeuer hat seit Jahrtausenden eine magische Anziehungskraft, es befriedigt zwei unserer elementarsten menschlichen Bedürfnisse, Wärme und Licht, Männer sind geradezu davon besessen, Feuer zu entzünden und zu unterhalten. Dass eine so wichtige Fähigkeit, Outdoor, mit Holz aus der Natur, ein Holzfeuer zu entzünden, heute immer mehr abhanden kommt, ist wohl dem Generationswandel und einer stetigen Verstädterungsrate zu schulden. Viele Sozialfaktoren tragen dazu bei (Stichworte Fernseh- und Videospielkultur), dass immer weniger Eltern ihren Kindern diese Fähigkeiten vermitteln, und sich ihre Kinder nicht mehr für das Leben „Outdoor“ begeistern. Pfadfinderstämme „sterben“ aus. Jugendreisen sind nur noch attraktiv, wenn sie „Happening-Charakter“ haben. Das Bewegen in der Natur wird entweder als Wochenenderlebnis praktiziert oder auf geführten Transkontinalen „Expeditionsreisen“ im Urwald Borneos (Ihr wisst, was ich meine…) Zwei Dinge haben mich selbst oftmals davon abgehalten, einfach Outdoor zu zelten, zum einen ist die Bewegungsfreiheit in den üblichen Zelten in Deutschland auf das Schlafen beschränkt.

  • Phase Iii Archaeological Investigations at 38Fl2, the Florence Stockade, Florence, South Carolina
    PHASE III ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AT 38FL2, THE FLORENCE STOCKADE, FLORENCE, SOUTH CAROLINA By: Paul G. Avery, RPA, and Patrick H. Garrow, RPA With contributions by: Judith A. Sichler, PhD, RPA, Kandace D. Hollenbach, PhD, and Nicholas P. Herrmann, PhD Submitted to: Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration 810 Vermont Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20420 Prepared by: MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. 1725 Louisville Drive Knoxville, Tennessee 37921 Patrick H. Garrow, RPA Principal Investigator MACTEC Project Number 6671050345 February 2008 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY The Florence Stockade, an infamous Confederate prisoner of war camp, received its first prisoners on September 15, 1864. The prison covered approximately 23 acres south of Florence, South Carolina, and would house over 15,000 Union captives before it was abandoned in March of 1865. During this period, 2,800 of the prisoners died. The trenches in which most of them were buried were incorporated into the Florence National Cemetery, now controlled by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, National Cemetery Administration (VA). Today, the Florence National Cemetery contains approximately 9,000 interments and extends south of the original cemetery across National Cemetery Road. With space in the existing cemetery quickly dwindling, the VA planned to expand the cemetery onto a 10-acre tract immediately to the south. Although it was known that the project area was adjacent to the site of the Florence Stockade, it did not encroach on the recorded boundaries of the site, 38FL2. Clearing of the property began in early 2005. The Friends of the Florence Stockade notified the VA and the South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) of the potential historic importance of the proposed expansion area.
