Summary

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Pittsburgh District archaeological collections were sent to the Veterans Curation Program's (VCP) Washington, DC laboratory in the winter of 2010 and then moved to the Alexandria laboratory in August of 2011. The Alexandria VCP laboratory is a USACE, St. Louis District's Mandatory Center of Expertise for the Curation and Management of Archaeological Collections program, which is staffed through John Milner Associates, Inc., an archaeological contract firm located in Alexandria, Virginia.

The procedures employed to re-house the archaeological material from the Stonewall Jackson Reservoir Archaeological Investigation 1974 are discussed below and follow those procedures utilized by the Alexandria VCP laboratory. In the re-housing process of each investigative effort of the USACE, Pittsburgh District collection, the same standard procedures and Archaeological Collections Facility (ACF) in West Virginia guidelines were followed. Upon completion of the curation management project, the collection was sent to ACF for permanent curation.
