This collection contains the artifact drawings and photographs, distribution data, photo log, curation catalog, and official report for the Phase I excavations and shovel testing at Goose Creek, Maryland. This survey was conducted by the Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum for the Naval Air Station at Patuxent River, Maryland. The goal of the project was to identify and inventory all archaeological sites within the project boundary in accordance with Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The Goose Creek Survey took place on Naval Air Station Patuxent River (NASPAX) and is found in St. Mary’s County, within Maryland Archaeological Research Unit Number 9. The survey covered approximately 5.05 miles of creek shoreline and consisted of 2,792 shovel test pits.
The survey located fourteen archaeological sites; twelve were newly identified and two were previously known. Of these fourteen sites, five are prehistoric, six are historic, and three are multi-component. Three sites, 18ST724, 18ST742, and 18ST743 are considered ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The remaining sites, 18ST492, 18ST493, 18ST722, 18ST723, 18ST725, 18ST726, 18ST727, 18ST741, 18ST744, 18ST745, and 18ST746 are potentially eligible, although further work is needed to assess them.
