VOLUME 50, NUMBER 2 37 LOOKING BACKWARD: ON THE OCCASION OF THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SOCIETY HISTORY OF THE CAPE COD CHAPTER Alice Dobbyn, Barbara Waters, Lesley Sage and Marilyn Crary Before the Cape Cod Chapter was formed in 1963, a Sippican group, which included some Cape Cod people, met in Marion, Mass. Frank Kremp lived in Marion and along with Viggo Petersen founded the Sippican Chapter. When the Sippican Chapter moved its headquarters to the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the Cape Cod members stopped going. There is one record of a July II, 1940 meeting to form a Cape Cod Chapter in New Bedford, but no report of additional meetings in the MAS archives. The Cape Cod Chapter: In the winter of 1963 a small group of people met and formed the Cape Cod Chapter of the Massachusetts Archaeological Society. The meeting place was the Harwich Recreation Building and the attendees came in response to an item in the Cape Cod Times. At this first meeting William Marion was elected Director; Ruth Brown, Secretary; and Alice Dobbyn, Treasurer. John Gaston of Osterville was a very active early member. He found and established the first chapter dig in Cotuit, the Baxter Neck area. Several artifacts were found. John also located that same year a site in South Orleans called the Peggy Ford Site. He assigned squares and again several artifacts were found, most in a stream on the property. A new site on Arey's Pond in South Orleans was found with the help of Frank Kremp. A few surface artifacts were found, but the high visibility of the area made it a poor choice for an excavation. All the sites described here had been extensively potholed, a common problem with many sites on Cape Cod. Ernie Tesson, another early member, located a shell midden called the Daniel's Site, in Wellfleet. Squares were allocated, but nearby summer cottages made digging a public matter and this site was closed. In 1974 Doug Brunell, a former president of the Chapter, made arrangements for the Chapter to excavate the Chatham RCA Site. Doug had worked for RCA and was able to arrange a contract with the owners of the land. Guy Mellgren was elected dig director. Guy had many years' experience with excavations. With help from John Gaston the Chapter cleared an area and laid out squares. This excavation was carried on for three years and was the impetus to attract many new members. At the end, Marie Eteson, Marilyn Crary, and Micky Chase studied the materials and wrote a report that appeared in the April 1978 issue of the Bulletin of the Massachusetts Archaeological Society (Eteson, Crary and Chase 1978). It was the Cape Cod Chapter's first real published report. Among the important artifacts was a deer bone pendant. Copyright 1989 Alice Dobbyn, Barbara Waters, Leslie Sage and Marilyn Crary 38 BULLETIN OF THE MASSACHUSETTS ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY During the summer of 1979, Jim Cahoon and Beth Nelson directed a survey excavation at the Achilles Site in Chatham. Marie Eteson analysed artifacts from the Hayward's Portanimicut Site and published her results in the April 1982 Bulletin of the Massachusetts Archaeological Society (Eteson 1982). Thermoluminescent dating of a single potsherd from this site resulted in a TL Date of 434.7 ± 43 years BP (1982) and was reported in the October 1985 Bulletin (Eteson 1985). In 1980 John Gaston arranged with Colonel Butler permi"ssion for the Chapter to excavate on his land in Osterville. Marie Eteson was dig director for Phase I and George Stillson for Phase II. Analysis of artifacts and soil became part of the Chapter's efforts after the suspension of fieldwork. Two carbon dates have been obtained from charcoal samples: 855 ± 135 yrs BP and 905 ± 135 yrs BP. An Artifact Collections Survey was initiated by Marie Eteson in 1980 and chapter members joined in the analysis of artifacts from personal collections of local Cape Codders. A presentation of this endeavor was made at the MAS annual meeting in October 1980 by Marie Eteson, Marilyn Crary and Barbara Waters (with a special critique contributed by Lesley Sage). In 1981 one of our members, Barbara S. Waters, became Director of the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History on 6A in Brewster. She encouraged the Chapter to assist in cataloging the Museum's extensive Rennie Collection. Members also assisted with the Ryder's Cove field class conducted and reported on by Museum Staff Archaeologist Fred Dunford (Dunford 1986). Chapter members have been among volunteers for a number of projects conducted by professional archaeologists: the Oak Ridge mitigation study for the Town of Orleans by Lenny Loparto, George Stillson and Fred Dunford in collaboration with the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History; the Bass River field survey for the Dennis Historical Society by George Stillson (see pottery discussion [Stillson 1986]); a mitigation study by the National Park Service archaeologists at Coast Guard Beach in Eastham (McManamon 1984). After many years of meeting at the Harwich Recreation Building, in 1983 the Chapter removed to the Museum in Brewster where an archaeological data base has been initiated (Pyle 1988), and where we continue our schedule of lectures and workshops on the first Saturday of. the month from October to

  • Armstrong Dam Removal Feasibility Study Final Report
    Armstrong Dam Removal FEASIBILITY STUDY Monatiquot River - Braintree, Massachusetts Prepared for: In partnership with: Prepared by: FINAL REPORT DECEMBER 2016 This page intentionally left blank. Executive Summary Armstrong Dam Removal FEASIBILITY STUDY – DRAFT REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Project Purpose The purpose of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of restoring access for diadromous1 fish to historically native habitats in the Upper Fore River Basin including its tributaries, the Monatiquot, Farm and Cochato Rivers by removing the Armstrong Dam, also known as Hollingsworth Dam, in Braintree, MA. The ultimate goal is restoring river herring access to the 180-acre Great Pond Reservoir in the Farm River basin headwaters. Great Pond serves as a water supply source for the towns of Braintree, Holbrook and Randolph (Tri-Town Water Board). A recent river herring and spawning nursery habitat assessment (Chase et al. 2015) was conducted that demonstrated Great Pond provides suitable river herring spawning habitat. Imagery Credit: Duane Raver/USFWS Species targeted for restoration include both species of river herring (blueback herring and alewife), American eel, and sea lamprey, all of which are diadromous fish that depend upon passage between marine and freshwater habitats to complete their life cycle. Reasons for pursuing fish passage restoration in the Upper Fore River Basin include the importance and historical presence of the target species, the connectivity of and significant potential habitat within the watershed, and active public input and support. F.X. Messina Enterprises, the Armstrong Dam owner, is interested in removing the dam to The impact of diadromous fish species extends eliminate maintenance costs and liability and far beyond the scope of a single restoration potentially developing the site.

Also included for each station are location infor- INTRODUCTION mation, streamflow-gaging stations for which flows were correlated to those at the low-flow Streamflow statistics are useful for design and operation of reservoirs for water supply and partial-record station, years of operation, and hydroelectric generation, sewage-treatment facilities, remarks indicating human influences of stream- commercial and industrial facilities, agriculture, flows at the station. Three or four streamflow mea- maintenance of streamflows for fisheries and wildlife, surements were made each year for three years and recreational users. These statistics provide during times of low flow to obtain nine or ten mea- indications of reliability of water resources, especially surements for each station. Measured flows at the during times when water conservation practices are low-flow partial-record stations were correlated most likely to be needed to protect instream flow and with same-day mean flows at a nearby gaging other uses.
