Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Harlem River Yard Intermodal Transportation and Distribution Center, Bronx, New York. For: Harlem River Yard Ventures.

Project at the Harlem River Yard in the south Bronx. Report examines the potential impact the proposed construction project will have on the project area. The site had been identified as likely to yield archaeological deposits associated with prehistoric groups as well the homes of Honorable Gouvernor Morris and Gouvernor Morris II. Potential for prehistoric resources within the Harlem River Yard. Archaeological testing revealed though that the site had been extensively disturbed in modern times and nothing remains of either residence nor of any prehistoric sites.

Project in Pelham Bay Park between Bruckner Boulevard, Pelham Bay Bridge, City Island Road, and City Island Bridge in the Bronx. The report examines the history of the project area beginning with Thomas Pell's purchase of the land from the Siwanoy in 1654 and ending with it's 1888 transformation into a New York City Park. Researchers conclude that, due to the large number of known prehistoric sites in the region and the relative lack of construction and land disturbance after 1888, it is likely that the area would yield archaeologically significant materials. Archaeological testing is therefore recommended.

An Evaluation of Prehistoric Cultural Resources At The Chapel Farm Estate Property, Bronx, New York. For: Tim Miller Associates. SEQR 89-PR11, CEQR 85-325X

Final report on archaeological excavations conducted on the Chapel Farm Estate in Riverdale Bronx. The report provides a summary of previous research on the site and provides an analysis and review of these previous studies' findings. Researchers conclude that the site was in fact a prehistoric quartz quarry where the beginning stages of stone tools were produced. Unfortunately, 19th and 20th century construction on the site make it impossible to definitely determine further details about the quarry (i.e. time period) and no further archaeological testing is recommended. The site's findings do solidify, though, the importance of the Bronx as a prehistoric source of quartz.

This report is the final volume in an assessment of the potential for preserved ancient landscape and submerged cultural remains within the New York and New Jersey Port District. This survey was undertaken as part of a proposal to deepen harbor waterways, including the Newark Bay, Claremont, Port Jersey, Anchorage, Stapleton, and Ambrose Channel. The survey implemented probing techniques to analyze site stratigraphy, date and examine sediment layers and to test for archaeological sensitivity in the region. This volume includes research on modern development within the harbor and documents the effects of recent improvements on the potential underwater sites. Furthermore, the report documents the integrity environmental and prehistoric remains within the region.
This document contains two reports, one which listed above and Report no.108 detailing geomorphological and archaeological studies carried out at Governors Island as part of the same project.

Part of a large transportation construction initiative, the Long Island Rail Road East Side Access Project, this report examines the archaeological potential of areas in Manhattan, Sunnyside Yard, Yard A, Blissville Yard, Maspeth Yard, and Fresh Pond Yard in Queens, Highbridge Yard in the Bronx, and Roosevelt Island. While construction plans have not been finalized, many areas within the current construction plans are sensitive for a variety of prehistoric and historic archaeological resources, particularly Indigenous Peoples settlements and Revolutionary War remains. Sensitive areas are indicated, and construction plans should attempt to avoid them. If this is not possible, soil borings, archaeological monitoring and/or archaeological testing are recommended in order to determine the presence and significance of any intact archaeological material.

Assessment of Potential Wreck in Ambrose Channel to Determine Historic Significance and Undertake Selected Recordation of Remains Encountered in Connection with the NY and NJ Harbor Navigation Study [Lower Bay Port of NY and NJ, Richmond Co., NY]

Investigation of a potential wreck site in Ambrose Channel, New York Harbor. Remote sensing, diver investigation, and historical research determined that this is likely the wreck of RMS Fort Victoria from the late 19th- early 20th century. Large amounts of artifacts, such as bottles, china, and porcelain were discovered. However, the wreck has been significantly disturbed since deposition. Additionally, since it was a British ship and not linked to events in American history, it cannot be considered for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Further investigation would be too costly to carry out.
