Archeological Mitigation at the Old Commissary, HS5, Stabilization at Fort Larned National Historic Site, Kansas

Author(s): Douglas D. Scott

Year: 2005

Summary

Archeological testing and mitigation was performed on the Old Commissary, HS 5, at Fort Lamed National Historic Site in partial compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act as amended. The structure, built in 1866 and the oldest original structure at the fort, requires extensive foundation and stabilization work to preserve its condition (Figure I). Archeological field work was carried out between July 11 and 17 by Douglas Scott, Melissa Baier, and Thomas Thiessen. Fort Lamed staff provided a variety of support that allowed the field work to be completed in less time than originally planned.
