Archaeological Boring Program, New York University Law School Extension. CEQR 83-223M

Project on Sullivan Street at Washington Square South. In previous analysis, this site was concluded to be likely to have both prehistoric and historic deposits, and so soil boring tests were conducted. This document details the methodology and results of the soil boring tests, which indicated that most resources have been disturbed, but some 19th century backyard features remain intact. Excavation is recommended only in those areas.

Cultural Resources Survey, Phase IA, Block 679, Manhattan, New York (DRAFT). [Convention Center Parking]

Project between West 33rd and 34th Streets and 11th and 12th Avenues. This area was created by 19th century landfilling and could show changes in landfilling technology as compared to earlier episodes. In addition, it is possible that 19th century industrial and domestic deposits remain intact, and so archaeological testing is recommended.

64 Pearl Street: An Archaeological Excavation in 17th Century Landfill. Sponsored by the New York Landmarks Conservancy.

Project at 64 Pearl Street- 34 Water Street in the Fraunces Tavern Historic District of Lower Manhattan. In the 17th century, land was created in what had been the East River; construction continued on the lot until 1858. Archaeological excavations yielded an extensive collection of artifacts spanning three centuries (17th-19th) including smoking pipes, ceramics, and building materials.

Phase Ia Sensitivity Assessment / Literature Search, Hamilton Grange National Memorial and St. Nicholas Park. 106 m for U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. NY, New York.

The National Park Service plans to move the former home of Alexander Hamilton from its present location at 287 Convent Avenue to St. Nicholas Park, and so both areas were assessed for archaeological potential. The structure was moved to its present location in 1889, and any archaeological remains at the Covent Avenue location would be from after that time. The relocation site in St. Nicholas Park may contain a number of historic resources including Revolutionary War camp remains, Alexander Hamilton’s early 1800s Mill house, and remains of the 19th Century Mott Farm. Archaeological testing is recommended on both the Covent Ave and the St. Nicholas Park sites.

Phase Ia Sensitivity Assessment / Literature Search and Phase Ib Archeological Field Investigation, Hamilton Grange National Memorial and St. Nicholas Park. 106 m for U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. NY, New York.

The National Park Service plans to move the former home of Alexander Hamilton from its present location at 287 Convent Avenue to St. Nicholas Park, and so both areas underwent archaeological testing. Although historic materials were found on both sites, the contexts were disturbed by later construction and grading episodes. No further testing is recommended.

City Hall Park/2 Archaeological Site Report: The J.C. Decaux Public Lavatory Pilot Installation Project in NYC's City Hall Park. For: New York City Landmarks Preservation Foundation. LP 1901

Project on Block 122 in City Hall Park at the corner of Chambers and Centre Streets in Lower Manhattan. While construction did not allow for full-scale excavations, testing on the northeast corner of the park revealed 18th and 19th century artifacts and the foundations of the 18th century foundations. The foundations are thought the remnants of either a Soup House/Kitchen or one of the buildings associated with the African American Burial Ground and Commons. The report includes a brief overview of the buildings that once stood in City Hall park and an inventory of the recovered artifacts.

The Archaeological Evaluation of The Seven Hanover Square Block: A Final Report. (1 of 6) Submitted to: The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. (Volumes 1-6, Appendices C-O of Volumes 4-6)

Project on the 7 Hanover Square block bounded by Pearl Street, Hanover Square, Water Street, and Coenties Slip in Manhattan's Financial District. The report is part 1 of 6 and details the excavations that took place on 4 of the 15 lots. On these four lots, excavators found the remnants of buildings dating back to the 17th century- the earliest on the block. These remnants allowed researchers to better understand the construction history of the site and the ways in which such development forever changed Manhattan's shores.

The Archaeological Investigation Of The Stadt Huys Block: A Final Report. With contributions by: Diane Dallal, Joseph Diamond, Mary Dierickx, Meta F. Janowitz, Josselyn F. Moore, Kate Morgan, Arnold Pickmam, and Nancy Stehling. [85 Broad St.] CEQR 79-04

Project on the 85 Broad Street block bounded by Pearl, Broad, and South William Streets in the Financial District, Manhattan. The block was the location of New York City's first town hall, Stadt Huys (71 Pearl Street), dating from the Dutch Colonial period. While excavations did not reveal any evidence of the Stadt Huys building, researchers did discover the remains of the Lovelace Tavern. Sir Francis Lovelace, New York City's second English governor, built the Tavern in 1670 and it served as an interim town hall after the Stadt Huys fell out of use. These finds and others make this site one of the oldest continuously occupied sites in New York City.

Report on Archaeological Testing and Monitoring for Sign Post Hole Excavations on Governors Island, NY, NY

Archaeological monitoring and testing of the locations of post holes for 36 sign posts on Governors Island. The area is likely to contain prehistoric remains, Revolutionary War remains, landfilling remains, and other historic remains from a variety of periods. Some archaeological materials were found but all of them were from mixed contexts. The project generally adds to archaeological understandings of the area, and so it is recommended that the data be recorded in the GIPEC Governors Island GIS database.

Report on Archaeological Testing in Advance of Fire Supression Sprinkler Installation at the Morris-Jumel Mansion, West 160th Street at Jumel Terrace, Manhattan, NY. LP-0888

Project at the Morris-Jumel Mansion located in Roger Morris Park in Washington Heights. Previous excavations on the property uncovered possibly intact prehistoric remains, and 19th century privies are also thought to exist in the vicinity of the house. However, testing in the proposed construction area indicated that the bedrock is close to the surface in this part of the site, and so the construction plans were changed. The new construction plans only impact previously disturbed areas, and so no further testing is recommended.

New York Stock Exchange, Security and Streetscape Improvements (Stage 1A Archeological Assessment) New York, NY.

Project in the Financial District, centered around the New York Stock Exchange. This report expands on research done in 1999. The streets in the project area date to the 17th century, and as such have the potential to contain various kinds of underground infrastructures, such as water mains, drains and wells. An investigation revealed no such resources, but monitoring is recommended, especially in areas without subways and with fewer disturbances in general. The sidewalks in this area should be considered archaeologically sensitive.

Archaeological and Historical Sensitivity Evaluation 723 East 9th St. Manhattan, NY [B379L53]

Project on East 9th Street between Avenues C and D. Construction of a house and subsequent occupation during the mid-19th century point to the existence of both a privy and a cistern in the former backyard. The recent discovery of a surviving cistern from the same period at a nearby location makes recovery more likely. Testing is recommended to determine whether or not these features exist.
