Report on the 1997 Archeological Investigations at Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site St. Louis, Missouri

Summary

From June 30 through July 25, 1997, subsurface archeological investigations were conducted at four areas of Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, historically known as White Haven, in St. Louis, Missouri (Figure 1). Ground-disturbing activities were planned as part of the restoration and maintenance of the historic property and such investigations were necessary to mitigate any adverse impacts to significant buried archeological deposits within the project area.

This project, the fifth archeological research expedition carried out on the site since 1990 (Noble 1997; Price and Hastings 1998), was conducted under a cooperative agreement between the National Park Service and the University of Missouri-Columbia. Dr. James E. Price of the University of Missouri-Columbia served as principal investigator, and research strategy for the project was established by Dr. Price and Dr. Mark Lynott of the Midwest Archeological Center (MWAC). Karin Roberts and Renata Coleman of the Midwest Archeological Center served as crew chiefs, while field technicians on the project included Chris Brown, Jennifer Marlar, and John Swigart of the Midwest Archeological Center and Judy Harpole of the University of Missouri-Columbia. All work on the site was coordinated with Jill York O’Bright, Superintendent of Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site.

Artifacts and related archival materials from the 1997 project are stored and cataloged under ULSG accession number 9 (MWAC accession number 720).
