The analysis of Aspet’s resources documented in Volume I, Site History is included in this volume. The information provided in Volume I and this report, Volume II, provide the information needed to develop effective treatment strategies. This report will directly inform Volume III, Cultural Landscape Treatment Plan, which will present park managers with specific treatment actions that address the sustainable presentation of the historic scene at Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. Thank you to all those who have contributed to this body of work that will help the park manage its significant landscape resources. BJ Dunn Superintendent Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site vii CULTURAL LANDSCAPE REPORT FOR ASPET, VOLUME II viii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The report was written by Lisa Nowak and Margie Coffin Brown, project manager, with assistance from Erica Max, Jan Haenraets, Joel Smith, and John W. Hammond. John Auwaerter assisted with information on the hedges. Bob Page, Director of the Olmsted Center was instrumental in the scoping and inception of this project and also provided comments on draft materials. The Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation built upon the excellent draft prepared in 1994 by Pressley Associates and Cynthia Zaitzevsky for this volume. All chapters of their work were incorporated into this report, but notably the historic context chapter of the landscape analysis is authored almost exclusively by Pressley and Zaitzevsky. The successful completion of this report is due to the close collaboration between the project team and staff at Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. Park Superintendent BJ Dunn provided guidance and support throughout the duration of the project. Thanks are also due to Gardener James Haaf and Natural Resource Manager Stephen Walasewicz for providing information on existing and historic site conditions and for their thorough review comments. Curator Henry Duffy, Facility Manager Mike Healy, and Chief of Visitor Services Gregory Schwarz participated in scoping meetings and reviewed drafts of the report.

    Archeology in the Fontainebleau Forest François BEAUX

    Archeology in the Fontainebleau Forest François BEAUX If you examine closely an archeological map showing all artifacts remaining from the ancient times in the South of the Seine-et-Marne department, you will see an « archeological hole » in the Fontainebleau Forest area. The dryness of the soil and the overall lack of water were in fact responsible for the very poor settlement rates of prehistorian and later humans in that area. Actually the late king Saint Louis (Louis the 9th), when speaking about this wood, said « my dear deserts ». Only some places nearby the Seine river, the Loing river and the water sources of the Ru de Changis were inhabitated. About the small hunting pavilion situated nerby the Fountain Belle Eau (or Belleau or Bliaud ?) we know nothing but that it was one of the ancient sites of settlement ; and that it gave birth to the future castle and later palace with the town around. However, the people dwelling around frequenly traveled through this area ; they left us many objects and traces on the stones proving their presence and showing that the forest (which was then called « Sylva Biera », i.e. « wood of Bière ») was not devoid of humans. PALEOLITHIC ERA (before 10,000 B.C.) Silex fragments and cut stones typical of the mousterian age with traces of cutting of the « Levallois » type have been found during a pedologic search in 1974 near the big cross of the Grand Veneur. Another fragment of the same type has been found at the Long Rocher site (figure 1). Those two artifacts are dated from the middle Paleolithic, i.e.

Church Bay, Oil on canvas, 28 x 36 /8 inches, Signed lower center Introduction J jennifer c. krieger HROUGH HIS ART, Clark Greenwood Voorhees fully celebrated the rich natural beauty of T Bermuda, as well as the graceful way it was inhabited by its citizens. Each painting in this exhi- bition instantly becomes a portal into the sub-tropic archipelago Voorhees encountered in the early twentieth century with an eye attuned to both science and beauty. Voorhees depicted the isles in a variety of moods and in an abundance of views. Some images allude to the presence of man (figural or architectural) and others are simple meditations on the interaction between the land and sea and the physical wonders they have produced over thousands of years. In each work, Voorhees delivers forth a felt sensation of the area, whether it is the soft whisper of a noc- turne with air perfumed by bougainvillea and enshrouded by dark cedars, or the calls of sea birds echo- ing over an extension of lush rocky cliffs and pink sand beach saturated by the brightest of sunlight.

Your influence on my work is, perhaps, apparent, but I am truly grateful for the guidance you have provided over the years. Your patience and support while I balanced the weight of a museum career and the completion of my dissertation meant the world! I would certainly be remiss to not thank the staff, trustees, and volunteers at the Millicent Rogers Museum for bearing with me while I finalized my degree. Your kind words, enthusiasm, and encouragement were greatly appreciated. I know I looked dreadfully tired in the weeks prior to the completion of my dissertation and I thank you for not mentioning it. The Couse Foundation, the University of Oklahoma’s Charles M. Russell Center, and the School of Visual Arts, likewise, deserve a heartfelt thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of Taos and supporting my research. A very special thank you is needed for Ginnie and Ernie Leavitt, Carl Jones, and Byron Price.
