Using Black Earth and Remote Sensing of Indicator Plants for Identification of Prehistoric Archaeological Sensitivity and Potential Site Integrity in the Eastern Woodlands - Report (Legacy 10-416)

Author(s): Sarah Johnson; Marc Abrams; Laurie Rush

Year: 2012

Summary

This technical report provides a summary of soils data collected at four installations (Fort Drum, NY; Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA, Cheatham Annex of Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, VA, and Dare County Bombing Range of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, NC) to explore the efficacy of black earth as an indicator of Indian activity on the landscape. The report includes analysis and major conclusions, which were applied to develop management strategies that can be implemented across a wide range of DoD holdings in the eastern U.S.
