The Archaeology of the Logging Industry
Author: John G. Franzen
Publisher: University Press of Florida
ISBN: 0813057582
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
The American lumber industry helped fuel westward expansion and industrial development during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, building logging camps and sawmills—and abandoning them once the trees ran out. In this book, John Franzen surveys archaeological studies of logging sites across the nation, explaining how material evidence found at these locations illustrates key aspects of the American experience during this era. Franzen delves into the technologies used in cutting and processing logs, the environmental impacts of harvesting timber, the daily life of workers and their families, and the social organization of logging communities. He highlights important trends, such as increasing mechanization and standardization, and changes in working and living conditions, especially the food and housing provided by employers. Throughout these studies, which range from Michigan to California, the book provides access to information from unpublished studies not readily available to most researchers. The Archaeology of the Logging Industry also shows that when archaeologists turn their attention to the recent past, the discipline can be relevant to today’s ecological crises. By creating awareness of the environmental deterioration caused by industrial-scale logging during what some are calling the Anthropocene, archaeology supports the hope that with adequate time for recovery and better global-scale stewardship, the human use of forests might become sustainable. A volume in the series the American Experience in Archaeological Perspective, edited by Michael S. Nassaney

Impact of Timber Production and Transport Costs on Stand Management
Author: Chris B. LeDoux
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Forest management
Languages : en
Pages : 8
Book Description
S2Decisions to manage immature eastern hardwood stands on steep terrain must be based on an understanding of the impact of timber production costs on optimal rotation length and present net worth. Planners and managers can make improved decisions by knowing how the interaction of timber production and transportation costs affect individual stand management. Simulations with a complete systems model indicate that managers and planners must consider cable logging technology, transportation network standards, and transport vehicles. S3.
