OF PAGES IN REPORT: 65 (plus appendices) DOES THIS REPORT CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION YES ___ NO V REPORT ABSTRACT A Stage la Archaeological Survey was completed at the Li Tungsten site in Glen Cove, NY. The Stage la Survey was initiated at this time principally to evaluate the potential architectural significance of site buildings that could be affected by site activities during the Interim Remedial Actions (IRA). Secondary considerations included identification of potential archeological resources at the site and to recommend further investigations, if necessary, prior to the initiation of IRA and RI/FS field activities. Based on the results of the Stage la survey, it is unlikely that any activities related to the IRAs or the RI/FS will disturb or destroy possibly significant archeological or architectural resources. Potential archeological and architectural resources were identified on Parcel A and B. These cultural resources may warrant further investigation prior to remedial construction activities if large scale ground disturbance or building demolition is planned. 400140A In summary, the results and analysis of the Stage la Archeological Survey indicate the following: • Some of die existing structures within Parcel A may be associated with the early twentieth century Ladew Leather Belting Works and may possess architectural and/or historical value; • Parcel B is sensitive for the presence of possibly significant prehistoric period and historic period archaeological resources; and • The artificially filled area behind the bulkhead along Glen Cove Creek (Parcel A) may possibly constitute an historic period cultural resource.

The Stage la Survey was conducted as part of the remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) scope of work as described in the RI/FS Work Plan (Malcolm Pirnie, 1993). Interim Remedial Actions (IRA), as described in the IRA Work Plan (Malcolm Pirnie, 1994), are to be conducted prior to implementation of the RI. Activities associated with the IRA have the potential for disturbance of buildings during the removal and restaging of the tungsten ore. This Stage la survey was conducted at this time primarily to assess the need for

Both are buried in Old Rehoboth (a.k.a. Newman) Cemetery, Rumford (TAG 70:193–94, 203; RI Cems 63; see also BIRTH, DEATH, BURIAL, MARRIAGE, and COMMENTS sections, below). [Sources are cited in full in KEY TO SOURCE NOTES, at the end of this sketch. The format below is patterned loosely after that used by Robert Charles Anderson in his Great Migration series.] BIRTH: The earliest known record of William2 and his family of origin is that of their tenancy at Westcourt Manor, in the Wiltshire part of Shalbourne parish, beginning in 1608 (see RESIDENCES, below). The line separating Wiltshire and Berkshire bisected the parish, and the Hampshire border was/is only about four miles distant; it is therefore likely that he was born in one of these three counties. The entirety of Shalbourne parish has been in Wiltshire since 1895.
