Brenda,
Hello again! Presumably you know of the accounts of the 1953/4
excavations by the Michigan College of Mining and Technology at Isle
Royale. (SEE ';Early American Minining in Keewanaw Peninsular, Lake
Superior' Anthropological Papers No.17. JR Griffin 1961 [Museum
Anthropology Michigan Univ.])?
Also, Andy Lewis who helped excavate the Great Orme Bronze Age Mines at
Llandudno, North Wales, and has written extensively on this (and did his
MPhil. on the subject) is now Chief (Civic?) Engineer of the town of
Galena, presumably in your area. I am sure that he would love to supply
you with info.
I am away for a week or so now, but if I can be of any further
help..just send us a message.
Simon
