Author(s): Vergil E. Noble
Year: 2005
Summary
This report describes archeological field research performed in conjunction with final preparations for restoration of the Sarah Cook House within Lincoln Home National Historic Site. Restoration plans called for removal and replacement of its deteriorating foundation, which would involve considerable ground disturbance in an area known to be archeologically sensitive. The investigations of 1989 examined the area of direct impacts associated with the undertaking and recovered data from several features that would be damaged or destroyed. Among those were three abandoned cisterns used at various times during 19th-century occupation of the residence.
