Final Report on the Archaeological Intensive Survey for the Thompson Island Salt Marsh Restoration Project, Boston Harbor Islands, Massachusetts (2006)
A salt marsh restoration plan for Thompson Island in Boston Harbor calls for the removal of a stone berm that prevents tidal flushing of an existing salt marsh/pond on the central east side of the island. Lack of daily tidal exchange has resulted in a stagnant water body with severe algae blooms and encroachment by the invasive plant species, common reed (Phragmites australis). The restoration plan includes archaeological investigation of the proposed construction/demolition area as well as...
Flaked Lithic Debitage (1985)
The Reductive Technologies Group (RTG) was responsible for supporting the broad research goals of the DAP through the implementation of a mid-level research design governing the collection and analysis of data from “artifacts which were manufactured by reductive, or subtractive techniques” (Phagan 1986a:79). Independent datasets for each of the four preliminary analysis systems reflect the technological distinctions made between flaked lithic tools (FLT10a and FLT10b); the debitage created in...
