PROJECT Dean Snow.

The Fort Ann Quarry Site was sampled in order to provide the laboratory crew with a range of Fort Ann chert samples. These were later used to classify raw materials found at Harrisena and other sites in the Lake George Project area. Fort Ann chert occurs at several locations in the eastern part of the Lake George Project area and unfortunately, more than one of these are locally referred to as "the Fort Ann Quarry" (additional information on these sites can be found in the Fort Ann Quarry Site...

PROJECT Susan E. Bamann. University at Albany.

Fox Lair was discovered by Susan Bamann in 1989 while she was looking for the previously located Johnson site. The location of the Johnson site was incorrect in the New York State Museum files. Bamann found little or nothing where the Johnson site was supposedly located. It's clear that Fox Lair and Johnson are the same site. The site is located in the state of New York on a ridge near Otsquago Creek, Fort Plain, and the Mohawk River.

The Garrity site is located in the northwest of the South Bay district. The site was excavated in July of 1979. The fields of the site were divided into five sections. A preliminary survey indicated that the easternmost fields contained the greatest amount of cultural material. These fields were then systematically surveyed. They were called Cornfield 1 (Locus 1) and Cornfield 2 (Locus 2). The remaining area was divided into Zones A-D.

The village remained at the site through the relocation of Mohawk villages to the north side of the river. It was occupied through most of the A.D. 1666-1679 period, but was abandoned by the time Jesuit missionaries and Catholic converts...

The Lane site is one of the six sites within the South Bay Archaeological District. It was chosen for test excavation because the Wheeler collection was found to contain many artifacts from this site and because it appeared to be an important component of the proposed archaeological district. The majority of the excavations were accomplished between July 1, 1979 and July 22, 1979. More fieldwork was carried out between October 7, 1979 and October 23, 1979. According to the artifact record,...

PROJECT Susan Enscore. Carey Baxter.

This project developed a methodology for efficiently identifying the best examples of historic farmstead sites, and also those sites that are least likely to be deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It details testing the applicability of the methodology to regions across the country. Regional historic contexts were created to assist in the determination of “typical” farmsteads.
