Kevin Pape Project Manager January 14, 2009 ABSTRACT Under contract to ENTRAN, Gray & Pape, Inc. has prepared recommendations concerning the archaeological potential of Segment II/III of the Eastern Corridor Multimodal Projects (HAM-SR32-0.00, PID 22970; FHWA-OH-EIS-04-02), located in Hamilton and Clermont Counties, Ohio. The recommendations are based on a model developed by Gray & Pape, Inc. using the results of previous work conducted for the project (Weed 2002), documentary research, interviews with landowners and other knowledgeable parties, and an informal reconnaissance of the project area. Gray & Pape, Inc. divided the project area into three zones: Zone 1 is the undeveloped floodplains and terraces of the Little Miami River. Zone 2 includes floodplains and terraces that have been developed in historical times, and Zone 3 includes the valley and uplands east of the Village of Newtown. -
6 Uncovering Site 7NC-F-94: Results of Phase III Fieldwork
AT THE ROAD’S EDGE: FINAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE WILSON FARM TENANCY SITE 6 Uncovering Site 7NC-F-94: Results of Phase III Fieldwork METHODS KSK undertook Phase III archaeological excavations at the Wilson Farm Tenancy Site during the period from March to May 2007, with a return visit in August of that year. These excavations were initiated in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s “Protection of Historic Properties” (36 CFR 800), and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation (Federal Register 48(190): 44730-44734). Excavation methods followed the guidelines outlined in the DE SHPO’s Guidelines for Architectural and Archaeological Surveys in Delaware (1993). The Phase III archaeological investigations at Site 7NC-F-94 consisted of three principal fieldwork components: 1) an initial plowzone sampling strategy; 2) mechanical stripping of the site area; and 3) feature excavation. KSK initially excavated 28 test units (Test Units 6–31 and 34) to sample the plowzone and explore the brick foundation of Wilson Farm Tenant House III (Figures 6.1 and 6.2). The excavations and mechanical stripping resulted in the identification of 104 features (Figure 6.3). Finally, three additional test units (Test Units 32, 35, and 36) were excavated to uncover a shaft feature (Feature 34) exposed near the southwestern corner of the foundation. Test units were designated per their coordinates (N70/E120, for example) and also assigned simple numerical designations (Test Unit 1, Test Unit 20, etc.) for ease of discussion. -

For the Record: the What, How and When of Stratigraphy
No. 83/84, 2007 70 Ontario Archaeology For the Record: The What, How and When of Stratigraphy Henry C. Cary and Joseph H. Last Ontario archaeologists approach stratigraphy from a number ofdirections, a situation born from the adop tion and adaptation of Canadian, American, and British field techniques. Each method is suitable for cer tain conditions, but we suggest that stratigraphic excavation must be used to understand site formation. Our technique focuses on the single stratigraphic unit and asks ofit three questions: what is its nature? (jill buried sad, or flature); how did it get there? (primary or secondary deposition); and when was it deposited' (the relationship to other layers and flatures). Posing these questions during excavation ensures that crucial infor mation is not lost once the site is disturbed and allows the archaeologist to determine the site-wide sequence and phases ofdevelopment later in the analysis. Detailed stratigraphic recording and analysis is often seen as time consuming, especially in mitz.'gation excavations, but we will introduce methods currently in use at stratigraphically complex military sites in Ontario that effict rapid, thorough, and accurate recording. Introduction Archaeological Services, Military Sites, a small group dedicated to cultural resource management Archaeologists in Ontario approach strarigraphy in of military National Historic Sites in Ontario. diverse ways. Some dig in arbitrary spits, then Over the past 24 years we have developed a system record and correlate the stratigraphic profile later to help us answer these inquiries. We do not intend in the analysis. Many excavate stratigraphically. to argue that our method is more effective than any removing each stratum in the reverse order of dep other, but merely want to present how it applies to osition while leaving baulks afterward drawn in our research. -

Recording Procedures The Single Context Planning System The key to understanding remains in the archaeological record is through the stratigraphic sequence. The stratigraphic sequence is the accumulated layers of occupation which represent actions in the past. Each ‘context’ is derived from an action of deposition or removal. Within any sequence such as this, the earlier deposits will always be cut or sealed by the later giving the stratigraphic sequence a relative chronology. It is important to note that the only relevant relationship between two contexts is that which lies immediately before or after any given context. All contexts within a site should be given equal consideration when considering the stratigraphic sequence, including physical artefacts such as coffins or walls, along side the more common types of context such as cuts and deposits. The stratigraphic sequence can be represented by a Harris Matrix showing the full interconnectivity of all contexts on a site. Each context is given its own unique context number and is recorded in isolation after the removal of all contexts above. In this way plans can be overlaid to compile and then check the site matrix. 1 ©Archaeological Research Services Ltd. Recording Procedures The Context Recording System (see also Context Recording Sheet) Site Code: Unique site identifier, usually consisting of a three or four letter code denoting the site and a two digit code denoting the year of the project. -
Appendix E: Glossary of Terms

Archaeology -The study of the people of the past through the systematic recovery and analysis of the artifacts/material evidence they left behind. Archival Research – research conducted in places where public or historical records, charters, and documents are stored and preserved. Assemblage – Collection of persons or things: in archaeological contexts, the collection of artifacts from a particular site, from a stratigraphic level, or cultural component within the site, or a particular artifact class, such as lithics or ceramics. Census, U.S. – An official count of the nation’s population taken every 10 years, often including a collection of demographic information. Culture – A uniquely human system of behavioral patterns, beliefs, habits, and customs, used to interact with other people and with the environment, acquired by people through a nonbiological, uninherited, learned process. Datum – A point, line, or surface used as a reference, as in surveying. Diagnostic - An artifact that can clearly be dated and/or identified as to maker, date, place of origin, etc. Feature -Any soil disturbance or discoloration that reflects human activity. Also, an artifact too large to remove from a site; for example, house foundations, storage pits, etc. Flotation – The process of sifting soil samples through a fine screen while running a steady stream of water over the sample; residual materials such as tiny artifacts, seeds, and bones are separated out into light and heavy fractions for analysis.
