Part of: Fort Lee, Prince George County, Virginia
A total of 17 archeological evaluations of significance were completed as part of an ongoing program of cultural resource management at Fort Lee, Prince George County, Virginia. The evaluations were conducted in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act and its implementing regulations In situations where planned development projects would adversely affect identified archeological resources. Of the 17 properties evaluated during this study, six were classified as significant and for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Significant sites included two preserved and repeatedly occupied prehistoric basecamps (44PG169 and 44PG182), a domestic site dating to the late seventeenth century (44PG183), two late colonial historic sites (44PG176 and 44PG179), and a late colonial /antebellum residence of exceptionally high integrity (411PG260).
