Archaeological Monitoring at the Old West Farms Soldier Cemetery, The Bronx, NY

Project at The Old West Farms Soldier Cemetery, 2103 Bryant Avenue, in the Bronx. During construction at the site, human remains from two individuals, a male and an African-American female, were found along with remains of coffin furniture. The remains most likely date to the 19th century and were associated with the now relocated West Farms Presbyterian Church cemetery. The two individuals were reinterred elsewhere in the Old West Farms Cemetery and no further testing is recommended.

Topic Intensive Documentary Study, Willis Avenue Bridge Reconstruction, Bronx County and NY County, NY. PIN X757.00, BIN No. 2-24005-9\A\B, Contract No. HBM1124, SHPO 96PR073

Project on the Willis Avenue Bridge that connects First Avenue in Manhattan to Willis Avenue in the Bronx. Report includes an overview of the project area's history and it's potential to yield archaeologically significant materials. Research revealed that there was once a 17th century cemetery associated with the Dutch Reformed Church on the Manhattan side, a 19th century roundhouse on the Bronx side, and the potential for prehistoric deposits on the riverside of the project area in the Bronx. Further research into the roundhouse and the cemetery are recommended to determine whether archaeological excavations would be necessary.

Stage 1A Archaeological Assessment, Willis Avenue Bridge Reconstruction, Bronx County and NY County, NY. PIN X757.00, BIN No. 2-24005-9\A\B, Contract No. HBM1124, SHPO 96PR073

A report on the Willis Avenue Bridge project on both the Manhattan and Bronx sides of the Harlem River. The report gives an in-depth history of areas and structures that were identified through previous research as potentially historically significant like the 17th century cemetery on the Manhattan side and the 19th century roundhouse that was once on the Bronx side. Researchers concluded that none of these areas and potential structures would be affected by the construction plans and no archaeological testing is recommended.

Cultural Resource Assessment, Croton Water Treatment Plant, Mosholu Golf Course,Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx, New York. CEQR 98DEP027 SEQR 98PR056; DEIS Appendix D.2. [Multiple authors]

Project on the Mosholu Golf Course and Driving Range located in Van Cortland Park in the Bronx. The report gives an overview of the project area's history and concludes that the site has the potential to yield archaeologically significant prehistoric deposits.

Cultural Resource Assessment, Croton Water Treatment Plant, Harlem River Site, Bronx, New York. CEQR 98DEP027 SEQR 98PR056; DEIS Appendix D.3. [Multiple authors]

Project at the proposed Harlem River Site of the Croton Aqueduct Water Treatment Plant located between the Harlem River, the Metropolitan Transit Authority railroad tracks, the Metro-North railroad, and University Height/West Fordham Road in the Bronx. Report provides a detailed history of the project area and nearby historical places like the University Heights Bridge and the railroad. Based on this history, researchers conclude that it is likely that prehistoric deposits are preserved within the project area but recommend archaeological testing for further verification.

Cultural Resource Assessment, Croton Water Treatment Plant, Gate House No. 1., Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx, New York. CEQR 98DEP027 SEQR 98PR056; DEIS Appendix D.7. [Multiple authors]

Report on Gate House No. 1. of the New Croton Aqueduct located in Van Cortlandt Park. It is likely that the area surrounding the gate house contains archaeologically significant deposits associated with the prehistoric period because of the number of known prehistoric sites close by and historic accounts that place the Indigenous Peoples Keskeskick Village to the southwest of the structure. Archaeological testing is recommended.

Cultural Resource Assessment, Croton Water Treatment Plant, Jerome Park Reservoir, Bronx, New York. CEQR 98DEP027 SEQR 98PR056; DEIS Appendix D.8. [Multiple authors]

Project on the Jerome Park Reservoir located between Reservoir Ave, Sedgwick Ave, and Goulden Ave in the Bronx. The report provides a brief overview of the history of the Reservoir and the general area of the site. While the project area was used intensively in prehistory and during the Revolutionary War, modern construction of the Jerome Park Reservoir would most likely have destroyed any record of this past. As such, archaeological testing is not recommended.

Department of Correction, Prison Barge Proposal. Project Data Statement: AY Assessment. For Parsons Brinkerhoff Quade & Douglas, Inc. CEQR 90-001X

Project at the proposed Halleck Street site of the Hunts Point Correctional Facility Prison Barge Prison Barge in Hunts Point, Bronx. The report documents the site's history and prehistory to determine the likelihood of finding historically significant deposits. Further archaeological testing is recommended because of the proximity of a number of known prehistoric sites and evidence that shows the Hunt Mansion may have been located within the project area. The testing is to be restricted to the northeasternmost section of the project area as this area has been the least disturbed by construction activity.
