Chapel Farm II, Bronx, New York, Cultural Resource Investigations Stage II. For: Robert Kahn, Kahn Associates. CEQR 85-325X (Faline Schneiderman-Fox)

Project on the prehistoric site at Chapel Farm II in Riverdale, Bronx. Previous excavations recovered prehistoric stone tools that date to the Late Archaic but the project area had been too disturbed to date for certain. Researchers conclude that because of this disturbance it is unlikely that further excavation will yield any significant information; the report includes a review and summary of the excavations.

Report assesses the potential for historically significant deposits on North Brother Island located in the Upper East River. Research shows that from 1885-1944, the island was home to Riverside Hospital for patients with contagious diseases whose most infamous patient was "Typhoid Mary" Malone. Archaeological excavations are recommended to explore the island and hospital's early history especially.

Stage 1A Archaeological Assessment The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York. For: Vollmer Associates, City of New York and Department of Cultural Affairs. [Multiple authors]

Project at the New York Botanical Gardens located in Bronx Park. Report on a survey of the gardens and grounds to identify areas and buildings that may be historically and/or archaeologically significant in advance of construction projects. Included in the report are overviews of the prehistory and history of the NYBG. Some areas that were identified as particularly significant are the Stone Snuff Mill built in 1840, the Lorillard Stone Cottage built in 1851, and several "Bronx River Prehistoric Zones" where it is likely that prehistoric deposits would be found.

Archaeological Assessment, Criminal Court Facility, B 2444, 2445. Morrisania, X. CEQR 95DGS003X [Multiple authors]

Project in Morrisania, Bronx, between E. 161st Street, Sherman Ave, E. 163rd Street, Grant Ave, and Morris Ave. The report examines the history and prehistory of Morrisania and the construction history of the project area. Based on this examination, researchers identify three blocks within the area that have the potential for archaeologically significant deposits including the former sites of late-19th century homes. Further archaeological testing is recommended for those sites that would be affected by the proposed construction plans, though at the time of publication those plans were not yet available.

Cultural Resources Topic-Intensive Documentary Study Third Avenue HUB Retail Development The Bronx, New York. For: Rosenshein Associates CEQR 94DME-012X [Multiple authors]

Project on a site located in Melrose, Bronx between Third Ave, E. 156th Street, Brook Ave, and Bergen Ave. Complimentary to an earlier report detailing the site's prehistory, this report identifies three lots within the site that have the potential to yield historically significant deposits from the late-1800's. The lots were once the long-time residences of three families- the Gerkins, Lerchs, and Herlichs- and could provide valuable information about the lives of immigrants in Melrose's 19th century German-American community.

Police Service Facility #8 Block 3540, Castle Hill, Bronx, Phase IA Archaeological Study. For: Wall & Associates. CEQR 95-CHA002X [Multiple authors]

Report assessing the potential for a project at the Throgs Neck Houses to yield archaeologically significant material. Located in Castle Hill, Bronx, the project area was once swampy marshland and part of an area of New York City used intensively in prehistory. The relative lack of past development of the lots lead researchers to conclude that the highest area of the site would most likely hold evidence of prehistoric activity. No archaeological testing is recommended, though, as that elevated area would not be disturbed by the proposed extension of the Throgs Neck Houses police station.

Project in Riverdale, Bronx, between Mosholu Ave, Fieldston Ave, and W. 255th Street. While the presence of a quartz vein in the project area suggests that the site may have been important in the prehistoric period, extensive construction in the 20th century makes it unlikely prehistoric deposits were preserved. Archaeological testing is recommended, though, in those areas for which there is no record of modern construction activity.

The report examines the history and architectural properties of the Reservoir and the Croton Water Supply System to which it belongs. Based on the extensive landscaping that took place during the construction of the original reservoir in 1905, it is unlikely that archaeological deposits would have survived.

Report on archaeological excavations conducted on St. Raymond's Cemetery in the Bronx. Previous research suggested that the project area had the potential to yield deposits associated with the 18th century Ferris Estate and prehistoric groups. While there was no remaining evidence of the Ferris Estate within the project area, a relatively undisturbed deposit of prehistoric tools was uncovered. No further archaeological testing is recommended though as the planned construction would not affect the deposit.

Report on the 9 block area of the Morrisania Urban Renewal Project located in the southern half of Morrisania. Five of the lots within this project area were identified as particularly likely to yield deposits associated with the 19th century villagers; these include lots associated with Chauncy Smith, a prominent lawyer, and Conrad Hubner, a saloon keeper. Two locations within the project area were also identified for their potential to yield prehistoric deposits. If preserved, these deposits could provide invaluable information on the daily lives of the Bronx's earliest inhabitants and the members of the German community that helped develop the Bronx's first planned village.

Project at the Bronx Terminal Market in West Haven, Bronx and bounded by River Avenue and E. 149th Street. The report details the history of the project area and the West Haven neighborhood. Based on this history, researchers conclude that it is unlikely that any historically significant deposits would be located within the project area. Specifically, any prehistoric material would most likely be restricted to areas and a depth that would not be disturbed by the current construction plans and the construction of the Prehistoric resources would likely be specific to the areas of the site and at a depth within the site that would not be disturbed by the current construction plans; archaeological testing, therefore, is not recommended.
