Washington, D.C. 20242 PREPARED BY: Stuart Fiedel, John Bedell, Charles LeeDecker THE LOUIS BERGER GROUP, INC. 2300 N Street NW Washington, D.C. 20037 December 2005 FOREWORD This is the first of three volumes reporting the results of a three-year archeological survey of the easternmost 59 miles of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park (C&O Canal Park) for the National Park Service (NPS), National Capital Region, from 2003 through 2005. In recognition of the paucity of basic archeological data for the C&O Canal Park, and for other NPS properties in the National Capital Region, funds were devoted to implement the Systemwide Archeological Inventory Program (SAIP) in this area. The SAIP was developed to address the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act (specifically Sections 106 and 110), Executive Order 11593, and the Archeological Resources Protection Act. The rationale for the archeological survey was based primarily on the NPS’s resource management needs under Section 110 rather than being driven by development or capital improvement projects within the park.

  • BULL RUN MOUNTAIN HOUSE, SITE 44FQ0313 Fauquier County, Virginia WSSI #22316.01
    BULL RUN MOUNTAIN HOUSE, SITE 44FQ0313 Fauquier County, Virginia WSSI #22316.01 Phase I Archeological Investigation (±0.65 acres) December, 2013 Prepared for: Fauquier County Department of Community Development 10 Hotel Street, 3rd Floor Warrenton, Virginia 20186 Prepared by: Boyd Sipe, M.A., RPA and Andrés E. Garzón-Oechsle 5300 Wellington Branch Drive, Suite 100 Gainesville, Virginia 20155 Tel: 703-679-5600 Email: [email protected] www.wetlandstudies.com ABSTRACT A Phase I archeological investigation was conducted within a ±0.65 acre portion of the ±3.3 acre site 44FQ0313, the Bull Run Mountain House site located in Bull Run Mountains Natural Area Preserve in Fauquier County, Virginia. Additionally, a public outreach component was undertaken that included the excavation of two test units. Thunderbird Archeology, a division of Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc., of Gainesville, Virginia, conducted the studies for Fauquier County Planning Division of Warrenton, Virginia. The fieldwork was carried out in September and October of 2013. The historic artifact assemblage recovered from the site indicates that the intensive historic occupation of site 44FQ0313 may have dated from circa 1785 to circa 1825 during John Monday’s ownership of the property. The late historic finds, represented primarily by bottle glass dating to the late 19th century and early 20th century may be associated with the reported ephemeral use of the property as a hunting lodge or retreat during these periods. A previously unknown prehistoric component of the site that likely dates to the Archaic period (8000 B.C. – 1000 B.C.) was also discovered during the Phase I investigations.

Mullen, M.A., RPA, Anna Maas, MUEP, Penny Sandbeck, M.A. Daniel Baicy, M.A., RPA and Kathleen Jockel, B.A. 5300 Wellington Branch Drive, Suite 100 Gainesville, Virginia 20155 Tel: 703-679-5600 Email: [email protected] www.wetlandstudies.com ABSTRACT Thunderbird Archeology, a division of Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc. (WSSI) of Gainesville, Virginia, conducted a Documentary Study and a Geoarcheological Investigation of three parcels (880 South Pickett Street, 890 South Pickett Street, and 620 Burnside Place) totaling ±7 acres in Alexandria, Virginia. The documentary research was conducted in anticipation of the planned redevelopment of part of the study area. The goal was to provide a contextual study of the prehistory and history of the property, focusing on evaluating the potential for locating intact archeological resources on the property. The study area was continuously subdivided, consolidated with other properties, and subdivided further throughout its history. It appears to have remained completely undeveloped until the 1966 construction of the building that stands there today. The study area has low probability for historic resources, but a moderate to high probability of containing prehistoric cultural resources that could potentially provide information about the prehistoric habitation of the region. However, the demolition, grading, and construction of parking lots and buildings in the late 20th century likely disturbed the archeological context of 880 South Pickett Street, 890 South Pickett Street, and 620 Burnside Place, though the degree of disturbance is unknown.
