Triborough Bridge And Tunnel Authority. Triborough Bridge Rehabilitation Project Randall’s And Ward’s Islands, Manhattan Phase IA Archaeological Assessment Report. For: Philip Habib & Associates.

Project concerning the Triborough Bridge on Wards and Randall's Islands. 19th-century buildings such as a hospital and House of Refugees existed on the site, but were demolished for the bridge construction. The Islands were both the sites of potter's fields, however, and burials have been discovered during 20th-century construction. There is no evidence of disturbance of these burials, therfore these areas are archaeologically sensitive, and testing is recommended. Blueprints, maps and photographs are included.

Block 405. Lot 1. 174-180 Avenue A & 501-505 East 11th Street. Borough of Manhattan. New York County, New York. Stage IA Literature Review and Archaeological and Historic Sensitivity Evaluation. For Joanne Hoffman UJA Federation of New York. NON CEQRH

The following report is an assessment of archaeological and historical sensitivity in the Lower East Side, Manhattan. This survey conducts a literature review of prehistoric and historic resources located on Block 405 Lot 1. The survey utilizes cartographic and archival information to determine the presence or absence of historic resources, their significance, and the likelihood that these survived subsequent episodes of on-site disturbance. This survey was unable to locate any significant prehistoric resources, however it was able to identify sections of the project area which might contain intact mid-19th century yard features, and therefore recommends further testing.

Stage 1a Literature Review & Sensitivity Evaluation of Archaeological Potential, Block 372, Lot 26, 306-312 East 3rd St., Borough of Manhattan, NY, NY.

The following report is an assessment of archaeological and historical sensitivity between 306-312 East Third Street located in the East Village, Manhattan. This survey conducts a literature review of prehistoric and historic resources located on Block 372. The survey utilizes cartographic and archival information to determine the presence or absence of historic resources, their significance, and the likelihood that these survived subsequent episodes of on-site disturbance. This survey was unable to locate any significant prehistoric resources at the site, however it was able to identify sections of the project area which potentially contained mid-19th century intact rear-yard features, and therefore recommends further on-site testing.

Report On Subsurface Conditions. Block 595, Lot 66 & 68. 328 Spring Street & 489 Washington Street Borough of Manhattan, New York County, New York. For: Sheldon Lobel PC. 01BSA103M

Project on Spring and Washington Streets in Manhattan. The site is next to the historic James Brown House (1817); the remains of activity related to the house may be present on the project site, and soil borings confirm that structures do exist below ground on part of the project site. An investigation is recommended after the buildings currently on the site are demolished, to investigate the possible presence of remains related to the James Brown House, and also Revolutionary War fortifications and 19th century privies or cisterns.

Stage 2 Archaeological Investigtion. Congregation Moshcisker Chevrah Gur Arye Mikvah. 308 East 3rd St., Block 372, Lot 27 [26], Borough of Manhattan, NY, NY.

Project on East 3rd Street between Avenues C and D on the Lower East Side. Archaeological testing was recommended to investigate the possible presence of privies and cisterns from early 19th-century buildings which once stood on the site. An investigation led to the discovery of a tiled bath on the site, but it was unclear whether it was a Jewish ritual bath (mikvah). An excavation was undertaken to gather more details about the feature, and it was determined that a synagogue existed on the site from about the early 20th century. A Star of David mosaic was uncovered during the excavation, which indicates that the bath was indeed a mikvah, despite the absence of some traditional features. (This mosaic is now on display at the Museum of Jewish Heritage.)

17 State Street: An Archaeological Evaluation, Phase I Documentation. For 17 Vista Associates through Webster and Sheffield. CEQR 85-215M

Project on State Street at Pearl Street in lower Manhattan, in the vicinity of the former lots of several significant structures from the 17th though 19th centuries, including Dutch homes and an entertainment garden. However, since development of the site is already underway, testing is not possible, and therefore no investigation can be recommended. (Mitigation was required of the developer which included the creation and initial support of New York Unearthed.)

An Archaeological Evaluation of the Manhattan West Site, New York City. For Konheim & Ketcham. CEQR 86-268M

Project between 61st and 64th Streets on West End Avenue. The area was used mostly for railroad-related activities (with the exception of a few buildings including a New York Times printing plant from the 1950s), and has the potential to reveal information about the construction of the 19th-century railroad on the site. An investigation here would also offer the opportunity to compare the mid-19th century fill for the railroad track bed at this site with fill at other sites in Manhattan. Monitoring is recommended, as is sampling and testing of any significant material uncovered.

Stage 1A Archaeological Evaluation of the Exchange Project Site, 10 Battery Place, New York City. CEQR 87-033M

Project on Battery Place in the Financial District of Manhattan. Testing is recommended for possible remains of Indigenous activities, and remains of construction or occupation from the 17th and 18th centuries. Monitoring is recommended to explore late 18th-century and early 19th-century landfill techniques, where potential features like wharves and piers may be present. Soil borings are recommended to assess whether testing would be necessary during excavation activities on the site.

UPS Manhattan South Facility, Phase IA Archaeological Assessment. For Allee King Rosen & Fleming, Inc. CEQR 87-090M

Project between Spring Street and West Houston Street, and West Street and Greenwich Street, in SoHo. The land on this site is composed of fill from more than one expansion episode during the early 19th century. As a result, a monitoring program is recommended to determine whether or not waterfront features like wharves, bulkheads and piers exist on the site. Soil borings are also recommended to verify the condition of potential stratigraphic levels associated with Indigenous habitation.

Project on 82nd Street between Lexington and Park Avenues. Research alone cannot answer the question of whether or not a mid-19th century structure on the site was connected to the city sewer system, or if an existing connection was used by the occupants of the house. As a result, field testing is recommended to determine whether or not a backyard privy exists on the site.

Manhattan West Field Testing: The Hudson River Platforms. CEQR 86-268M

This report presents the results of an investigation into the archaeological resources of the Manhattan West site on West End Avenue between 61st and 64th Streets. A large stone embankment and platform construction was uncovered, consisting of two walls with earth fill from the Hudson River Railroad during the mid-19th century. The architecture suggests that a passage ran through the embankment, though no motive for this detail is known. The embankment and artifacts have been recorded, therefore no further testing is necessary.

Hudson Center Hotel Site, Block 218, Lots 20, 23, and 28, Manhattan, New York. Phase Ib Topic Intensive Archaeological Survey. [256 West Street, 96BSA048M]

Project between West and Washington Streets, and Laight and Vestry Streets, in Tribeca. This report follows an earlier one in which archaeological sensitivity for the remains of an iron foundry was considered. This report concludes that the project site has been developed to the point where materials are not likely to remain undisturbed, and that even if they do exist, they will probably not offer new information or significance. No further evaluation is recommended.

Historic Documentary Report Assay Office Site. Contract #32-83-0003. For: Fox and Fowle Architects and HRO International Ltd. 83-229m. (Joel Grossman, Susan Dublin, Bertram Herbert, Leo Hershkowitz)

Project at the intersection of South Street, Front Street, Governeur's Lane and Old Slip on the east side of Manhattan. This area is part of land made from fill after the expansion of Manhattan Island into the East River during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Borings taken at the site indicate the presence of wood timbers, and therefore the potential for the remains of wharves on the site. Fill material may give insight into the activities of merchants who participated in the filling of the block in the late 18th century.

Cultural Resource Sensitivity Study And Impact Analysis Of The Western Half Of The AT&T Block, Block 80 Lots 4-12. (Kalikow Office Site) For: Eli Attia Architects. CEQR 84-192M [Multiple authors]

Project on Church Street between Fulton and Dey Streets. Landscape alterations and basement construction to depths below the original ground surface level during the 19th and 20th centuries indicate that any pre-20th century remains present on the site have since been disturbed. As a result, no archaeological remains are expected to survive, and no further testing is recommended.

Supplemental Cultural Resource Sensitivity Study and Past Impact Analysis of the Union Square East Project (Block 870). For: Allee, King, Rosen & Fleming, Inc. CEQR 84-006M [Multiple authors]

Project between 14th and 15th Streets, between Union Square and Irving Place in Manhattan. Most of the lots do not have the potential to contain archaeological remains because deep basements were constructed later in time, thereby disturbing or destroying them. However, a small part of the site is thought not to have been disturbed. For the portion of the site where shallow basements are thought not to have affected archaeological potential, no determination about possible resources has been made.

9th Avenue Rezoning Project. Technical Report #2 Phase IA Sensitivity Evaluation. For: McKeown & Franz, Inc. CEQR 87-175M [Multiple authors]

Project on 9th Avenue between 35th and 41st Streets. The area is not sensitive for historic remains because it was used as farmland for the majority of its occupation, and because it is not associated with people or places of note. While the topography of the area makes it a candidate for prehistoric use, no testing is recommended because construction has probably disturbed or destroyed any archaeological remains.

East Harlem Triangle Urban Renewal Area, Manhattan, New York. For Department of Housing Preservation and Development, City of New York. CEQR #89-106M (August & December 1993) [Multiple authors]

Project on Third Avenue between 126th and 127th Streets in East Harlem. Testing was done under the assumption that late-19th century wells, privies or cisterns, as well as prehistoric material, might have existed on the site. Though stone and brick walls were uncovered, no significant resources were found, and no further testing is recommended.
