If you'd like a copy of my paper (approx. 5pp) and/or my annotated=20
bibliography, please email off-list (I'm unsubscribing for my three-week=20
vacation, so I won't get any on-list posts). I can either e-mail or=20

homes as "anthropological" artifacts vs. the "historic" interpretation of=
=20
traditional historic house museums. This led to a discussion of the=20
