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...
