I In December 2004 and January 2005, an emergency cultural resource monitoring of the repair to the retaining wall surrounding Roger Morris Park, home to the Morris-Jumel Mansion, in New I York, New York (Project Number: M073-105M) was undertaken on behalf of the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation. Dell-Tech Enterprises, Incorporated was hired by the Parks Department to conduct the necessary repair. The Cultural Resource Request for Proposal I called for archaeological monitoring of all subsurface excavation work prior to the installation of a new drainage line along the perimeter of the southern fieldstone fence line. I No cultural resource materials and/or features were uncovered during the excavation for the reconstruction of the retaining wall and installation of new drain lines, which were placed approximately sixteen (16) inches below surface. The matrix of the soil consisted almost I completely of unmortared stones that were packed together with loose dirt.

It is the recommendation of this report, based on the make-up of the subsoil, that no further I cultural resource work be required if repairs to this section of the wall are required in the future. I I I I I I I I

Between December 2004 and January 2005 cultural resource monitoring was undertaken at Roger Moms Park, home of the Morris-Jumel Mansion in New York, New York (Project Number: M073-~05M) (Figure Ol)as part of an emergency repair project. Under contract to Den-Tech Enterprises, Incorporated and the City of New York Department of Parks and Recreation (Parks), the Scope of Work called for the monitoring of the excavation and disassembly of the pre-existing collapsed retaiining wan and the installation of a new subsurface drainage Une. Work was undertaken by Alyssa Loorya, M.A., RP.A. (principle Investigator) and assisted by Christopher Ricciardi, Ph.D., RP.A..

I II Figure 0 I: Morris-Jumel Mansion

During the last week of December 2004, a portion of the southern retaining wall around Roger I Moms Park collapsed (Figure 02). Parks put out an 'emergency contract to repair the two sections of wall that buckled as well as the installation of a new drainage line, approximately sixteen (16) inches below ground surface and running parallel along the wall Monitoring was requested by Parks since the Park and the Mansion are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in keeping with the New York City Environmental Quality Review Act of 1977 (as amended) (Beame 1977).

Due to the significance of the house and grounds, Parks determined that archaeological monitoring should occur for all excavation work, A documentary study was not required as part I of this emergency work. Previous archaeological investigations of the site are well documented and 'contain detailed histories. I I 1 II: Background History:

As stated, due to the emergency nature of the project, a documentary study was not part of the Scope of Work for this project, There have been several other in-depth Cultural Resource projectsat the Park and Mansion that provide historical background. For detailed historical I information on. the Park and house see Stone (2000) and Pickman (1994). All previous archaeological reports were reviewed, as part of this project. I Thearea in which the present day house is situated was originaily known as the Great Marne Land. The earliest European owners of'the property were Jan Kiersen followed by James Carroll. The property, which is the second highest point in Manhattan., was purchased by Roger I Morris in 1763. Morris built the existing house between 1765 and 1770. Duringthe Revolutionary War, George W.asbington briefly used the house as a headquarters (Stone 2000:4) I and returned. for a visit following the Revohrtienary War (Moss 2005). Following several changes in ownership, the house WaS purchased by Stephen Jumel in. uno. After Jumel's passing in 1832. his widow, Eliza married Arron Burr, who still was dishonored I with regard tohis actions duringthe Revolutionary War. The house remainedin the family until the last half of the nineteenth century. By 1882 portions of the property had been sold bringing it to its current size .. The house and property were sold to the City of New York in 1903. Four I years later the Daughters of the American Revolution opened. the house as a museum (Stone 2000:5).

!I Although the house remains on its original orientation, its originallyexpaasive lands had! been sold off by the twentieth. century, The house and landscape have repeatedly been modified to reflect the status of the family residing there. During the twentieth century the grounds underwent maintenance and its role today is to serve as a public park and a museum (Moss 2005). I I 'I I !I I Figure 02: Southern retaining wall prior to collapse I 2 Ii I I III Archaeological Monitoring: I I I I I Figure 03: Interior of south em fence line prior to excavation

I As part of the emergency repair contract, two tasks were required: the repair of the buckled. wall, which compromised the integrity of the 'entire wall and the installation of new drainage lines along the interiorperimeter of the southern fence line (Figure 03). Dueto the extreme slope of I the property it was not possible for the contractors to disassemble the wan without first excavationbehind the wall. Due to the slope and rocky nature of the grounds a baekhow was used to facilitate the excavation (Figure 04). The area of the collapse was approximately ten (10) I feet in length of the walt :1

I I I :1

- I I Figure 04: Southern sloping walt - after collapse I 3 I' II

The proposed plancalled for the excavation of approximately ten (10) feet behind the retaining :1 wall to allow for the inssalletion of metal sheet shoring that would then allow the mortared I fieldstone wall to be carefully removed prior to reconstruction (Figure 05) I I II I I I Figure 05: Southern wall prior to excavation work Excavations revealed that the area adjacent to the retaining wall was comprised mostly of large fieldstone Manhattan mica-schist rocks. They were unmortared, but held inplace, in part, by I loose soil (Figure 06). The first one (1) to two (2) feet of soil excavated consisted of an organic top soil that revealed no cultural remains. Beneath that layer was a medium brown. sub soil that I was found throughout the rocky matrix. I I. I _I I I I

I Soon after excavations were underway, the fieldstone wall colIapsed (Figure 07). Ii I I I I I ,I Figure 07: Southern wan after the collapse

!I Along the entire length of the excavation the same soil and rock matrix was uncovered beneath the top soil layer (Figure 08). The soil was consistently brownish in color mixed with large . - I mica-schist rocks. I I I II II I Ii 5 I Only two artifacts were uncovered during this portion of the excavation, The first was an early twentieth century bottle that led to the assumption that the wall may have been disturbed and fixed some time after the tum of the twentieth century . The second were red bricks that may have been associated with a later repair to the wall, perhaps during the WP A period (Figures 09' and 10). The artifacts were noted, but not saved. No other cultural resource material or feature remains were uncovered during the excavation work.

! ' : I . I

I Figure 09: Brick used to repair the preexisting retaining wall (shown after collapse) The project alsocalled for new drainage lines to be installed between sixteen (1~ and eighteen I (18) inches below ground surface. A significant section of the new drain line trench was exposed during the leveling for the wall repair. The length of the southern wall excavation was approximately one hundred and sixty (160) feet (see Appendix B - Site Map for map provided by I Parks Department and DeU- Tech Enterprises, Inc.),

Along the entire length of the drain line, no cultural resources were uncovered. The excavation I revealed the same top, and sub soils layers, foHowedby mica schist rocks, uncovered earlier. I' I

6 I I N: ConclusionlRecommendations: Based on the monitoring for the excavation for the installation of the new drainage pipe and the emergency repair of the southern retaining wall, it is clear that the area of the retaining wall has I been previously disturbed by the original construction of the wall and the subsequent repairs to it. Further, the severe slope of the southern edge of the property is related to the formal laying of I the streets around the park and further disturbed the area. No significant cultural resource materials or features remain were uncovered during the excavation. Due to the nature of the make-up of the subsurface soil within the project area, large I urunortared stones, the likelihood of cultural resources present in the area are minimal. I Therefore, it is the recommendation of this report that no further cultural resource work be considered for this specific area within Roger Morris Park. I I V: References: Moss, Kenneth.

As you know, based on OUT previous working experience I together at the Pieter Claesen Wyckoff Farmhouse in Brooklyn, New York, I ama.certified Register: of.

Professional Archaeologist (RoPA), who is also listed on the New York City Landmarks . '. I •••. Preservation (NYC LPC) list of approved archaeologists. I have been working in New York City I archaeology since the early 19905.

Based upon Item Number 28 from the Parks Department, and our phone conversation earlier I today, the following services are required for archaeology:

Task I: Review of previous history and archaeological reports I Task 2: Monitoring of excavation work Task 3: Preparation and submittal of a Draft Report I Task 4: Preparation and submittal of a Final Report It is my understanding that you estimate approximately forty (40) hours of fieldwork (monitoring) will be required for this job. Aside from fieldwork, a draft/final report will have to I be submitted as well as consultation with the various review agencies (NYC LPC and perhaps the New York City Department of Parks and RecreationlHistoric House Trust (HHT).

I Cost for the project is based on our verbal discussions.

Obviously, if field work has to be extended, due to the uncovering of significant archaeological I remains, which is unanticipated, or an extension of the field work by your company, this will be I above the total job estimate. I 9 I I
