Technical Proposal To Perform Supplemental Phase IB Investigations At Rego Park Mall, Queens New York. For: The Trump Organization. CEQR 86-013Q

Report explores the results of preliminary borings conducted on the proposed site of the Rego Park Mall bounded by Queens Boulevard, 97th Street, Junction Boulevard and the Long Island Expressway Service Road in Rego Park, Queens. No artifacts were recovered from the borings nor did they provide any information regarding the site's level of disturbance.

A Phase IB Cultural Resource Investigation of the Proposed Rego Park Mall, Queens, New York. For: The Trump Organization. (March 1988 & May 1988) CEQR 86-013Q

Project at the proposed site of the Rego Park Mall in Rego Park, Queens. Excavations focused on the southern portion of the site near the intersection of 63rd road and 97th street where the 19th century farmhouse of Michael Vandeveer once stood. None of the material recovered from the site could be dated to this time period, though, and the site showed evidence of extensive modern construction filling and disturbance.

Project at One Jamaica Center (Block 10100) between Jamaica Avenue, 160th street, Archer Avenue, and Parsons Boulevard. Archaeological testing revealed 19th century to 20th century refuse deposits including a privy, cistern and cesspool.

Cultural Resources Baseline Study, Flushing Bay Ecosystem Restoration Project, Queens County, NY

Report explores the potential for historic sites and archaeological deposits within Queens' Flushing Bay watershed for the Flushing Bay Ecosystem Restoration Project. Among the many sites within the large project area, 6 are identified as potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places including the possible prehistoric deposits adjacent to the known prehistoric Tallman Island site and the Old Marina Site, a shipyard built in 1916. If these 6 sites cannot be avoided, then archaeological testing and thorough documentation of the findings are recommended.

Stage 1A Archaeological Survey, Point Little Bay Development, Whitestone, Borough of Queens, New York. Submitted to: Kiska Developers Inc. CEQR 89-025Q

Report on the Point Little Bay Development site in Whitestone, Queens. Archaeological testing is recommended as the report shows that there is a limited potential for prehistoric deposits within the project area. Although the site has been disturbed by modern construction activity, it remains relatively undeveloped and the topography of the area suggests it would have been a strategic location for a prehistoric hunting camp.

Archaeological Documentary Study South Jamaica Urban Renewal Area- 4th Amendment, Borough of Queens. For: City of New York Department of Housing Preservation and Development. CEQR No. 90-HPD-125Q.

Project on the South Jamaica Urban Renewal area bounded by South Road, 166th street, 111th Avenue, and 150th Street. The report explores the sites potential to yield historic and prehistoric deposits. While the likelihood of preserved prehistoric deposits is low, the site was occupied extensively throughout the 18th-20th century; the project area could contain privies, cisterns, and building features associated with 18th-19th century farmsteads and/or remnants of the late 19th century period when these farmsteads were subdivided into residential lots. Archaeological testing is recommended.

Archaeological Documentary Study St. Michael's Cemetery Queens, New York. Submitted to: St. Michael's Protestant Episcopal Church and Mr. Irving E. Minkin Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP. CEQR No. 97-BSA-103Q.

Report details research conducted on the grounds of St. Michael's Cemetery on Astoria Boulevard in Queens. The history of the site and cemetery are summarized and previous studies of the prehistory of the region are discussed. The extensive and detailed cemetery records maintain that the area of the cemetery in question was never used as a burial ground and therefore archaeological testing is not recommended.

Phase II Archaeological Investigations Proposed Social Security Administration Building, Jamaica, Queens County, New York.

Project at the proposed location of the Social Security Administration building between Jamaica Avenue, Parsons Boulevard, Archer Avenue, and the Dutch Reformed Church in Jamaica, Queens. Archaeological excavations revealed a number of 19th century deposits probably associated with hotels, including the J.S. Remsen Pavilion Hotel and Hunter's Hotel, that once populated the busy urban center. Further archaeological testing was recommended to better understand the relationship between the artifact deposits and those businesses.

Phase IA Documentary Study of the Wilkins Site for Proposed Improvements to 14th Avenue and 141st Street, Borough of Queens, New York. Prepared for: NYC Department of Design and Construction. LA-CEQR-Q.

Report reviewing the history and previous research on the prehistoric Wilkins Site located on 14th Avenue between 141st and 142nd streets in Queens. Dating to the Late Woodlands period, the Wilkins site settlement was first excavated in the early 20th century and has yielded numerous artifacts including human remains.

Project on 14th Avenue between 141st and 142nd streets just north of the Wilkins prehistoric site in Queens. Archaeological testing found that while the excavation area had been considerably disturbed over time, the large number of prehistoric artifacts show that the site had been occupied as early as the Late Archaic and through the Late Woodland periods.

Historical Report and Archaeological Recommendations Richard Cornell Graveyard, Far Rockaway, Queens, New York. For: The Cornell Cemetery Corporation.

Report explores the history of the Richard Cornell Cemetery site in Far Rockaway, Queens and the history of the Cornell Family. Research shows that the site bounded by Caffrey Avenue, New Haven Avenue, and Mott Avenue was used as for family burials throughout the 18th and 19th centuries until 1821.

Project at Rufus King Park in Jamaica, Queens. Report documents archaeological testing conducted on the park grounds and includes a brief overview of the site's history. Although previous research suggested there was a strong potential for both prehistoric and historic deposits within the project area, none of the artifacts recovered could be securely dated to either period and included many instrusive modern items.

Report on archaeological testing conducted at the intersection of 158th street and Liberty Avenue in Jamaica, Queens.

Report on Archaeological Testing in Advance of Improvements Associated with the Drainage and Termite Project at Rufus King Park, Jamaica Avenue at 150-153 Streets, Jamaica, Queens, New York. Prepared for: Fredante Construction Corporation. ER.Q.

Project on the Rufus King Manor House and Museum at Rufus King Park in Jamaica, Queens. Archaeological excavations revealed late 19th century artifacts as well as a number of previously unknown structures and architectural features on the Manor House grounds. These finds provide valuable insight into the history of the Manor House's summer kitchen in particular; most notably that the existing summer kitchen was not the original on the property and that the "summer" kitchen was probably used in other seasons as well. Further archaeological testing is recommended to identify other undocumented structures in the park.

Phase IA Archaeological Assessment, Rego Park Retail and Residential Center, Queens, NY

Report assessing the potential for archaeological deposits at the Rego Park Retail and Residential Center site in Elmhurst, Queens. While the relative lack of modern development makes it unlikely that excavations would recover historic era material, the proximity of a known prehistoric site with a similar environment as the Rego Park site suggests that there is a potential for prehistoric deposits. Further research has shown, though, that the site's landscape has been so disturbed over time that it is highly likely that any prehistoric deposits were destroyed and archaeological testing is not recommended.

An addendum to previous reports on the East Side Access project in Sunnyside Yard, Queens. The addendum presents research on the potential for archaeological deposits in a new portion of the project area between the 39th Street Bridge and 43rd Street (Laurel Hill Avenue).

Report on the Silvercup Rezoning Project on Vernon Boulevard in Long Island City, Queens. Based on the history and previous research of the site, the site has potential for archaeological deposits associated with both the historic and prehistoric period. Most notably, it seems likely that the foundations of the main building and remnants of the kiln of the New York Architectural Terra Cotta Company Plant are preserved within the project area; the NYATCC was operated on the site from 1886-1940. Archaeological testing is recommended to recover any material associated with this or the prehistoric period.
