Phase IA Cultural Resources Survey for the Proposed M29 Transmission Line Project, Westchester, Bronx and New York Counties

Archaeological survey in Yonkers and the Inwood area of Manhattan for a Con Edison project. Intense development in the area during the early 20th century makes it highly unlikely that any archaeological resources would still remain. An Unanticipated Discovery Plan was developed in case of any unanticipated finds. No further work is required.

Champlain Hudson Power Express, Pre-Phase Ia Archeological Screening

Energy transmission project which stretches from Canada to New York City, passing through multiple counties in New York and Connecticut. Sites located on or adjaent to project route include Indigenous Peoples sites, historic industrial sites along riverbanks and canals, Revolutionary War forts, and shipwrecks. Many of these areas are on or eligible for listing on National Heritage Areas and/or the National Historic registry. All efforts should be made to avoid disturbing known archaeological sites, and if this is not possible, further archaeological investigation will be necessary before the project proceeds.

Project in Staten Island for New Jersey-New York pipeline expansion project. Most of the areas in Staten Island along the pipeline have a high potential of yielding Indigenous Peoples resources such as shell middens, camp sites, village sites, and burials. The potential also exists for early 19th century homesteads. Soil borings are recommended in various places along the pipeline.

Archaeological investigation in association with the Spectra Energy NJ-NY Pipeline Expansion Project in Ramapo, NJ, Bloomfield, Staten Island and the Meatpacking District in Manhattan. Soil borings are recommended in certain areas of Staten Island to determine potential for buried ground surfaces. Further survey is required in Ramapo. No further investigations are required for the Manhattan portion of the project as this area was either manmade or highly disturbed.

DRAFT: Phase IA Archaeological Documentary Study - Rehabilitation of the High Bridge in the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx, New York. City of New York, Department of Parks and Recreation

Documentary study for proposed renovation of High Bridge over the Harlem River between Manhattan and the Bronx. The bridge is part of the Old Croton Aqueduct system, a New York City Landmark and is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places. The Manhattan Ramp Pier and the Bronx Ramp Pier areas may contain 19th century domestic resources. If renovations would require subsurface disturbance then further archaeological testing would be recommended.

Archaeological Overview Survey - Addendum #3 to Technical Report, New Jersey-New York Expansion Project, Staten Island and Manhattan, New York

Pipeline project with construction sites in parts of Staten Island, Manhattan, and New Jersey. The project has moved or adjusted several planned construction locations, due to environmental and archaeological concerns. This report, which looks at the new locations, found that in many cases, soil borings indicate that there was little or no archaeological potential, so no further testing was recommended in these areas. In a few locations, further soil borings are recommended to assess archaeological sensitivity, as it is possible prehistoric resources may be intact.

Remote Sensing Survey in Connection with the New York and New Jersey Harbor Navigation Study Upper and Lower Bay Port of New York and New Jersey, Kings, Queens, New York and Richmond Counties, New York, Essex, Hudson, Monmouth and Union Counties, NJ

This project assessed potentially submerged cultural resources within New York and New Jersey Harbor using remote-sensing techniques to determine the presence of significant submerged cultural resources within the Harbor channels, and to locate underwater cables in the Verrazano Narrows. The report similarly details an evaluation of cultural resources within the South Elizabeth Channel. The report reveals information on twenty eight sites within the project area which are recognized as having potential historical significance. The survey also reveals information on 19th and early 20th century watercraft, and documented shipwrecks within the region.
