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. -
Site Report: South Pickett Street Properties
South Pickett Street Properties (880/890 S. Pickett St. & 620 Burnside Place) City of Alexandria, Virginia WSSI #30318.0 Documentary1 Study & Geoarcheological Investigations May 2019 Revised July 2019 - Final Report Prepared for: Public Storage 701 Western Ave Glendale CA 91201 Prepared by: John P. 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. -

The work was carried out in July and October of 2007 by Thunderbird Archeology, a division of Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc., of Gainesville, Virginia, for Potomac Yard Development of Alexandria, Virginia. Initial test boring, along a +2300 foot section of the proposed path of Potomac Avenue, resulted in the discovery of a buried ground surface along the southernmost section of the study area. Subsequent Phase I investigations of the buried ground surface in a 500 foot section of this road, resulted in the identification of one new multi- component archeological site, 44AX0204. The prehistoric component of the site likely represents temporary use of the terraces and upland settings above a small stream that eventually emptied into the Potomac River. The historic component dates to the 19th century and is suggestive of a nearby structure. Additional archeological work was necessitated in April of 2009 by the construction of a sanitary sewer through site 44AX0204. -
Maryland Humanities Council History Matters!
Maryland Humanities Council History Matters! Interpretive Plan for the Lower Susquehanna Heritage Greenway History Matters! A History of Maryland’s Lower Susquehanna Region The Lower Susquehanna region is the bold termination of the wide, powerful Susquehanna River and the gentle beginning of the great Chesapeake Bay. Water dominates and shapes the lives of the humans along the shores just as it dominates and shapes the contours of its land.1 The commanding river pulls people together; and at the same time, it divides them. Maryland’s Harford County to the south and Cecil County to the north, separated by the river, are pulled away from one another toward competing economic centers. Harford County easily connects with urban Baltimore, and Cecil County is lured away from Maryland’s influence by Philadelphia and Wilmington. The Lower Susquehanna is a borderland connected by the mighty waters that dominate its existence. When we began reviewing the history of the Lower Susquehanna region of Maryland, we read the existing volumes on Harford and Cecil Counties; and we talked to our heritage area partners in the region. What did they need? Excellent histories focusing on the important men and events of the region already exist.2 What could we add? We gathered together experts on Maryland’s history and culture to discuss how we might fill in what was missing in our existing knowledge of the state. We visited local historians in the Lower Susquehanna to learn what information they needed to better interpret their region. Most agreed that we needed to explore the lives of the everyday people who lived and worked and died near these great waters. -
Archeological Investigation of the Heater's Island
“WE HAVE BEEN WITH THE EMPEROR OF PISCATAWAY, AT HIS FORT:”1 ARCHEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE HEATER’S ISLAND SITE (18FR72) Dennis C. Curry Abstract Introduction In 1970, the Department of Anthropology at the University of Maryland–College Park (UMCP) ran a 10-week “Summer Field School in Historic Sites Archaeology” (ANTH 194 and 294) under the general direction of Robert L. Schuyler, then an assistant professor at the university. The field school examined two Contact period Piscataway Indian sites simultaneously (see below), one of which was the Heater’s Island site (18FR72) in Frederick County, Maryland. The day-to-day fieldwork was directed by J. Ivor Gross, then a graduate student in Anthropology at the university. For various reasons, the excavation results were never analyzed and reported, and Dr. Schuyler took the collection and records from the project with him to the University of Pennsylvania, University Museum, where he curated them for the next 30+ years. The present work is intended to put forward a report on the Heater’s Island site which includes: an occupational history of the Piscataway Indians during the historic period, showing how they came to settle on Heater’s Island, their last village established in Maryland (1699 to ca. 1712); summaries of other known investigations of the site; and the results of the 1970 UMCP excavations. Heater’s Island (also known as Conoy Island2) is located in the Potomac River just below Point of Rocks, Maryland (see Figure _1_). At the time of the UMCP field school, the island was owned by retired Navy Capt. -

Although more than a hundred archeological sites have been recorded in the C&O Canal Park, much of the park remains unexplored, and little is known about most of the recorded sites. Since the park borders the Potomac River, the archeological potential of its 13,000 acres is enormous. To learn more about the archeological resources of the park, and to assist the park in managing those resources, funds were devoted to implement the Systemwide Archeological Inventory Program (SAIP) in this area. -

Universi^ Microfilms International 300 N
INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obt ain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. -

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.
