Author(s): Paul E. Buck

Year: 1991

Summary

Three archaeological sites were recorded in or near the project areas. Site 26NY7969 is a small lithic scatter located near station D-41; the station was subsequently moved from the original location to avoid disturbing the site. Site 26NY7970 is an historic site at D-40 consisting of a mine shaft or adit without associated artifacts and is not considered significant. Site 26NY7971 is a prehistoric site consisting of a lithic scatter with an associated rock alignment near D-10. The final location of D-10 was also moved to avoid disturbing this site.
