Article Abstract:

Archaeological investigation of the Southern Appalachians of Shenandoah National Park is described. These people lived a pre-industrial, frontier life of the backwoods. However, their overall material record shows an active involvement in the American consumer culture and some evolution in types of goods used, although Depression-era poverty was clearly a fact of life.
