Background research including an evaluation of the geology and environment, a walkover of the project area, prehistoric site files check and an evaluation of the sensitivity of prehistoric sites. The historical background research included a site files check and a summary of the history of the PIN 6066.41.101 project area.

Field investigations included descriptions of: The Ashland Site, The Bosworth Site, The Lamb Site, The Lowman Distillery Site, The Railroad Site, The Baldwin Creek Site, The Monument Site, The Lowman Site (loci 1-3), the 1779 Newton Battlefield Site, and Isolated finds.
