Final Report: Planning Level Cultural Resource Survey for Tactical Training Areas 1D, 1E, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C, 5A, 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 8A, 8B, 9A & 9B, Fort Dix Military Installation, Burlington and Ocean Counties, New Jersey, Volume One: Technical Report

Summary

This version of the report is the final version. it is volume 1 of 2.

TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) conducted a Planning Level (Phase I) Cultural Resource Survey of approximately 162 hectares (400 acres) of selected, discontiguous Tactical Training Areas (TACs) on Fort Dix, New Jersey between December 2003 and March 2004. The purpose of the Phase 1 survey was to locate and identify any potentially significant cultural resources in portions of TACs 1D, 1E, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C, 5A, 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 8A, 8B, 9A, and 9B, and to refine the Archeological Predictive Model currently in place at Fort Dix. In addition, this investigation also involved systematic subsurface testing of 22 previously identified historic features/foundations and three previously identified prehistoric lithic surface scatters.

In total, 52 archaeological sites and 47 isolated artifact finds were investigated during this survey. Of the sites examined, 25 were previously on record with the New Jersey State Museum. These include 22 historic sites, two prehistoric sites, and one multi-component site.

Based on the results of this investigation, Phase II archaeological testing is recommended for 36 sites (11 prehistoric sites and 25 historic sites). No recommendations can be made regarding previously reported site 28-BU-529, as it was not relocated. Additional investigation of the remaining 16 sites (as well as the isolated finds) is not considered warranted due to a relative paucity of cultural material and/or evidence of significant disturbance.
