Archeological collections management at Adams National Historic Site, Massachusetts

This report is ninth in a series of Archeological Collections Management Project (ACMP) reports produced by the North Atlantic Regional Office of the National Park Service. The purpose of this project has been to process, catalog, prepare for storage, and analyze the uncatalogued archeological collections at the Adams National Historic Site. All of these collections were from a portion of the Park known as the Adams Birthplaces. The project has resulted in better-documented and more accessible collections, as well as a synthesis of the archeological work performed at the site. This report serves as a general guide for the collections, and for the interpretation of the archeological record as excavated to date. Included in this report are sections pertaining to project methodology, collections summary, a historical overview, and recommendations for further work. Fully illustrated, with photographs, sketches, charts, and maps.
