Archaeological Tests and Artifact Analysis Results From Rufus King Park, Jamaica, Queens, New York. For: Land-site Contracting Corp.

Report on archaeological testing in the southern portion of Rufus King Park in Jamaica, Queens. Building upon an earlier study conducted by Cotz (1984), historical maps are clarified and excavations were conducted revealing undisturbed deposits dating to the Rufus King Period. These include over one thousand artifacts, the remains of a building, a privy, and a cistern. Further archaeological testing is recommended if the construction plans are not altered to accommodate these finds.

Report assessing the potential for the Flushing Manor Geriatric Center site in Flushing, Queens to yield historically significant deposits. Since the historic period construction at the site took place well after the installation of water and sewer lines it is unlikely that significant material from this period would be recovered. Excavations are still recommended, though, to test for potential prehistoric deposits.

Stage 1A Archaeological and Historical Sensitivity Evaluation of the Romano Property, Queens County, New York (Lot 31, Block 4697). For: Gino Romano. CEQR 129-92CQBSA (Joel W. Grossman)

Project on the Romano Property at 150-55 Cross Island Parkway in Whitestone, Queens. The report explores the history of the project area in order to determine the likelihood of excavations unearthing historically significant materials. While the historical settlement of Clintonville was located near to the site and the area was occupied in prehistoric times, research shows that it is unlikely that any evidence associated with either of these periods was preserved.

Report on the Department of Sanitation's Resource and Recovery Project site bounded by 48th Street, Maspeth Creek, and Newtown Creek in Maspeth, Queens. Although the historic village of Aernheim was located nearby, it is unlikely that the site would yield deposits associated with this, or any, period since the project area was marshland until the 19th century and remained relatively undeveloped.

Phase IB Archaeological Survey Report On The Northern Portion Of Rufus King Park, Jamaica Queens County, New York. For: City of New York Department of Parks & Recreation Olmstead Center. (William I. Roberts IV)

Report on archaeological testing conducted on the northern portion of Rufus King Park in Jamaica Queens. Excavations were conducted on the sites within the project area that were determined in a previous study by J. Cotz to be particularly likely to yield historically significant deposits. While a number of artifacts were recovered that dated to the historic period of the park, 20th century construction had significantly disturbed the landscape limiting the historical significance of the objects.

Based on the history and location of the site, the report determines that it is likely that archaeologically significant deposits could be preserved in the project area.

Final Report Phase IB Archaeological Survey of The Proposed Baisley Park Triangle [Springfield Gardens], Queens County, New York. For R.W. Hall General Contractor, Inc. (January 1994)

Report on excavations conducted on the Baisley Park Triangle project area in Jamaica, Queens. Previous research had suggested that the site may have held artifacts dating to the prehistoric period, but no such material was recovered during excavations. A few sherds of late 18th - 19th century ceramics, however, were recovered and are probably associated with the Stoothoffs family. Since relatively few artifacts were found and the site showed signs of modern disturbance, no further archaeological testing is recommended.

Project at West Queens High School in Astoria, Queens. Report examines the project area's history to determine whether historically significant deposits could have been preserved at the site. Archaeological testing is then recommended for three lots for their potential to yield materials related to the 19th century "Cottage House" hotel and the residence of it's proprietor, John H. Phillip. There is also a possibility that a privy dating to the same period was preserved as well.

The project site, formerly the 18th century village of Strattonsport, is located between 31st Avenue, College Point Boulevard, and 125th Street in College Point, Queens. The report briefly examines the history and prehistory of the area in order to determine whether archaeological deposits related to these periods may have been preserved. While the research suggests that there could potentially be prehistoric deposits, archaeological testing is not recommended because the site's deep layer of fill would protect any deposits from the planned construction activity.

Project at the JFK West site in Queens bounded by the Nassau Expressway, the NYC Transit Authority Rockaway Line, 130th Street, and the Bergen Basin. The report finds that while the site was undeveloped historically, there was not enough fill in most sections of the project area to have preserved fragile prehistoric deposits.

Project located between Maspeth Creek, 48th Street, and Newtown Creek in Maspeth, Queens. The report analyzes the geography, environment, and history of the project area to determine whether archaeological deposits could have preserved over time. While the analysis of the prehistoric geography and environment suggests that the site would have been favorable for prehistoric occupation, the landscape has been so altered over time as to make it unlikely that any prehistoric deposits remain within the project area; archaeological testing is not recommended.

Project in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens located between College Point Boulevard, Fowler Ave, and the Van Wyck Expressway. The report shows that while the site has been relatively recently developed, the construction fill may have helped preserve potential archaeological deposits dating to both the prehistoric and historic periods.

Project at One Jamaica Center between Archer and Jamaica Avenues in Jamaica, Queens. Archaeological testing is recommended to explore the identified potential for historically significant deposits in the project area. The site's history as presented in the report suggests that materials associated with the residences of John Kern and Matthew Huntting and the Thatford & Co. carriage factory could have been preserved within the project area.

Preliminary assessment of the potential for archaeological deposits within the Long Island City Rezoning Project area bounded by North 41st Avenue, 42nd Road, 27th Street, and the Sunnyside Yard. Throughout the 17th-19th centuries, the project area encompassed the hamlet of Dutch Kills and may have been occupied during the prehistoric period as well. Due to this long history, the site may harbor deposits associated with dwellings, a tavern, farm complexes, a family cemetery, and prehistoric groups.

Report on 3 sites of the Alley creek CSO Abatement Facilities Project along Springfield Boulevard, 46th Avenue, and 56th Avenue near Bayside, Queens. The area was used extensively throughout the historic period for both commercial and residential purposes and evidence also suggests that the area was probably occupied by prehistoric groups.

Project at the Clearview and 24th Avenue Pumping Stations in Clearview, Queens. Both sites were relatively undeveloped during the historic period so preserved prehistoric deposits could potentially be found within the project areas.

Archaeological Investigations at the Jacob Adriance House, The Creedmore Property on Little Neck Parkway, Bellerose, Queens, New York. For: City of New York Parks & Recreation. Contract OMBP 1122.

Project at the Jacob Adriance House east of the Little Neck Parkway in Bellerose, Queens. The report details excavations conducted on the house cellar, the proposed area for a utility trench, and the surrounding landscape. In all three locations excavators found mostly disturbed deposits of late 19th century domestic and construction refuse with the exception of the area to the east of the house which has potential for intact deposits. A particularly notable find was a brick and mortar cold storage facility partially covered by the shed.
