The principal managerial goals of Paragraph 3 archaeological reconnaissance are the identification and inventory of all potentially significant cultural resources in the area of proposed construction.The strategies utilized include: 1. background research detailing the history, prehistory, environment and archaeological sensitivity of the area; 2. walkover of the project area to locate sites and evaluate the topography of the area; 3. systematic subsurface testing of the project area; 4....

The Thomas Creek Site (SUBi-1546, NYSM #10135) was identified in 1994 during a cultural resource management reconnaissance survey in NYSDOT Region 9 (Loren, Rafferty and Kastl 1994).

The White Site for most of its occupation was occupied by a sequence of railroad laborer families, largely of Irish descent. Irish-American labor was integral in the construction and operation of the American railway system during the mid to late 19th century. The expansion of alternative transportation networks and the expansion of suburban residential areas led to the replacement of small, laborer households during the late 19th and early 20th century. Mid to late 19th century laborer...

Over the course of paragraph 3 background research and fieldwork in 1993, one prehistoric, and three historic sites were discovered. The principal goal of Paragraph 4 site examination for this project is to gather sufficient information on the 3 historic archaeological sites to allow the federal agencies to make determinations of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. For each site, such information minimally includes horizontal and vertical boundaries in relation to the...

This data recovery plan outlines historical data relevant to the White site, its potential importance in understanding immigrant Irish lifeways and suggestions for the recovery of data from the site. Based on the available documentary evidence, it appears that the White Site was inhabited for most of the mid to late 19th century by Irish immigrant laborers who were associated with the nearby New York and Erie railroad. The majority of Irish immigrants came from a landed, farming class until...
