Oral Historical, Documentary, and Archaeological Investigations of Barton and Vinton, Mississippi: An Interim Report on Phase II of the Tombigbee Historic Townsites Project.

摘要

This report presents the research objectives, techniques, and results of the second phase of the Tombigbee Historic Townsites Project. The Townsites Project, a large, multiphased investigation of the extinct nineteenth century river communities of Barton and Vinton, Mississippi, ultimately seeks to unite oral historical, documentary, and archaeological information within a cultural systems framework. An introduction to the second phase effort and specialized reports of the Oral Historical, Archival Research, Archaeology, and Laboratory programs follow. Viewed collectively with the Phase I interim report, these documents summarize work completed up to the data recovery program. (Author)
