  • Phase 1 Archeological Investigation
    ABSTRACT A Phase I archeological survey was conducted on the +110 acre 12th High School property (Prince William County 12th High School site) located along Dumfries Road (Route 234), approximately 1,000 feet south of the Dumfries Road/Hoadly Road (Route 642) intersection in Prince William County, Virginia. The work was carried out in June and July of 2008 by Thunderbird Archeology, a division of Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc., of Gainesville, Virginia, for Ross, France and Ratliff, Ltd. of Manassas, Virginia. Five archeological sites; 44PW1823, 44PW1824, 44PW1825, 44PW1826, and 44PW1827 were found and one historic architectural resource, DHR 076-5181, was recorded. Site 44PW1824 is interpreted as a lithic scatter or temporary camp representing transient use of the area by populations during the Early Archaic (7500 B.C.-6500 B.C.) and possibly other unknown prehistoric time periods. All prehistoric artifacts were recovered from the ground surface or from the plowed horizon and intact contexts are not expected at the site. Site 44PW1824 is not considered to be potentially eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places and no additional archeological work is recommended.
