Summary
The U.S. Army contracted MACTEC/Pacific Environmental Services, Inc. to complete a Phase I cultural resources survey of approximately 1,676 acres in Tactical (TAC) Areas 9A, 9B, 9C, 10A, and 10B at Fort Dix, Plumsted Township, Ocean County. The study stratified the five TAC areas into high and low archaeological site probability based on environmental factors and judgmentally placed 27, 500-foot by 500-foot blocks and 3, 250-foot by 500-foot blocks. In total, the survey sampled 183 acres within the study area. This study was completed in accordance with Section 110 of NHPA and NJHPO guidelines for archaeological survey.
Completed between October 2002 and February 2003, field investigations included pedestrian survey and excavation of 3,595, 12-inch diameter shovel tests arrayed in 50-foot interval grids. No potentially significant cultural resources were identified during this survey. The survey collected 43 historic-era artifacts, which were considered related to single-event, modern-era or military land uses of the property that would not qualify as significant historical activities. The survey did not identify any potentially significant cultural resources.
