Summary

The Environmental Office of the Directorate of Public Works retained John Milner Associates, Inc. (JMA), to undertake an archaeological survey of the Fort Monroe installation, Hampton, Virginia. The 568 acre project area contains Fort Monroe, a third-system seacoast fortification and surrounding land.

Shovel tests and test units were excavated in high and low sensitivity areas to determine the presence or absence of potentially significant archaeological resources.
