Summary

In November and December of 1992 trenches were dug for the installation of a new

security alarm system at Fort Scott National Historic Site, Kansas. The trenching operations

were monitored to determine if cultural features and artifacts are located in the areas of

primary impact. Several features were recorded, and a number of artifacts dating to the

military and post-military history of the fort were collected. In addition, a final portion of

this report addresses the research potential in other areas of the fort complex.
