Project in area bounded generally by East 13th Street, Avenue D/Pitt Street, 3rd Avenue/Bowery, and Delancey Street/Grand Street in the Lower East Side/East Village areas. Though renovated, several 19th-century buildings exist on these lots and remains from the 19th to early-20th centuries such as privies, cisterns and Jewish ritual baths may exist underground. In all, 262 sites in the project area are sensitive for archaeological remains. Because this is a rezoning project on private property, no testing can be recommended despite the sensitivity of the area. Many very detailed maps and photographs are included.

Project on Chambers Street between Elk Street and Broadway in Manhattan. Report on the testing and monitoring of the Tweed Courthouse site, including the analysis of artifacts and excavation of human remains. 28 historic burials, thousands of disarticulated human remains, a privy, a cold storage shed and other finds were identified. Artifacts and features are probably associated with the 18th-century almshouse or barracks, while the burials are either from the almshouse (most likely), African Burial Ground, or Revolutionary War prisoners. Based on the high potential for encountering human remains, and future work in the project area will require monitoring and testing.
