	ATU - Old Washington (3HE236)
		Historical archeologists have been working in small towns since the 1930s, as at Williamsburg, but the focus has remained primarily on the Colonial period or on the expression of town life on the Atlantic coast, and usually in fact on the colonial roots of the urban megalopolises of the late 20th century.
		Analysis of excavated data, informant interviews and oral history, old maps and photographs, and documentary evidence including tax records and data from the contemporary newspaper Washington Telegraph indicates that the urban households in Washington were largely responsible for much of their food, fuel, water, sanitation, and transportation.
		Identification of ethnicity in the historic archeological record can be difficult however, even if one uses as a broad definition of ethnicity that ethnic groups define themselves by their differences from the majority.
