Archaeological excavations of a small stone house erected ca. 1840 and associated for part of it's history with a vineyard complex are used to examine the consequences in urban development of the growth and decline of the wine industry in Augusta, Kentucky. Transitions in urban core, semiperiphery, and rural periphery during the nineteenth century were directly related to this single industry in Augusta and are mirrored in the artifactual residuum recovered. This study demonstrates that investigation of problems of this type may be most easily understood in the micro-urban contexts of small single-industry cities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
