American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009 Section 110 Compliance Report for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, NHPA, Cultural Resources Investigations, Technical Report No. 16, Volume 2, Raystown Lake, Huntingdon and Bedford Counties, Pennsylvania

Summary

Raystown Lake, Huntington and Bedford Counties, Pennsylvania.

At the request of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District (Corps), John Milner Associates, Inc. (JMA) conducted National Historic Preservation Act Section 110 archaeological compliance surveys on Corps fee-title land in the Baltimore District's Raystown Lake Project in Huntington and Bedford Counties, PA. JMA developed a GIS-based archaeological sensitivity model based on environmental variables.

The model was then evaluated in the field through Phase I survey, principally with shovel test transects. An elongated rectangular area measuring 10,560 ft (2 mi) by 787 ft was shovel tested at 15-m intervals. One historic site, the Mary Dowling Farm, and one prehistoric site, The Cliffs, were identified. Overall, site density was very low. The field work generally corroborated the sensitivity model in that the prehistoric site was found in a high sensitivity area while no sites were found in moderate or low sensitivity areas.
