Electrifying Rural Nevada: Mining and Hydroelectricity in Nevada's Northeastern Frontier (1896-1920)

The foundry is located in the northwestern part of Turkish Thrace, situated in the province of Kırklareli about 20 km east of the Bulgarian border and approximately 25 km south of İğneada, the westernmost port-city of Turkey on the Black Sea coast. Under the auspices of the Society for Turkish History of Science and the direction of the Museum of Kirklareli, the first season of salvage excavations were started during the summer season of 2003 at the deserted site of an iron foundry located around 4 km from the southeast of the town center of Demirköy. Excavations continued through the summer of 2006. This research was supplemented by industrial archaeological surface surveys conducted in the thickly forested area around the vicinity of this site.
