The investigations conducted by Chicora Foundation at the Sampson, later American Spinning Company, mill village on the outskirts of the City of Greenville, South Carolina provides a glimpse of mill life during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Excavations were conducted at two house sites, exploring the architectural remains, the dispersion of yard trash, and the food remains present - - all in an effort to reconstruct the lives of the mill workers.
