Archaeologists Elizabeth Sobel and Scott Worman present the results of archaeological and historical research focused on the communities associated with the Ash Grove White Lime Company and the Phenix Marble Company, both located in northwest Greene County. Their work shows that life in these late 19th and early 20th century communities decidedly did not conform to the popular stereotypes. They will share how historical archaeology in particular can help to re-imagine and re-present the history of southwest Missouri and the broader Ozarks.
