Report of Archaeological Curation Services and Finding Aid for Archaeological Collections Joint Base-McGuire Dix Lakehurst Environmental Division-Historic Preservation Office

Author(s): Robyn Watkins Morris

Year: 2016

Summary

The inventorying and accession cataloging of the artifact collection were conducted at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JB MDL) Environmental Division Historic Preservation Office from December 5th-17th 2015 by TEAMS Enterprise, USDA Forest Service employees.

Services began prior to initial inspection of artifact collections and cultural resource documents housed at the JB MDL Environmental Division Historic Preservation Office in Fort Dix, New Jersey. The agreed upon scope of work was to update the contents of the 2010 Inventory and create an accession catalog for it. The artifact collection at the time of this work was stored in the Field Archaeology Lab in locked cabinets. The boxes had been moved since the 2010 curation work had been completed, and several of the artifacts were missing. There are currently 39 boxes with Box #38 completely filled with associated cultural survey reports.
