Phase I Reconnaissance Survey of Proposed Airport Taxiway Linking the Scott Air Force Base Runway and the Planned Commercial Facility
Author(s): George R. Holley; Harold W. Watters
Year: 1991
Summary
This report describes a Phase I Reconnaissance archaeological survey on the property of Scott Air Force Base (SAFB), St. Clair County, Illinois relating to the planned construction of a joint military and civilian facility. The project entailed the creation of a new runway, parallel to the existing military runway, a taxiway between the runway, and support buildings for the civilian facility. This report concerns investigations relating to the landscape on Scott Air Force Base property.
The report concludes that no evidence relating to prehistoric resources was identified during the reconnaissance survey, and no adverse impact on prehistoric or cultural resources will occur in the proposed construction of the airport taxiway. No further work is suggested for this project, unless the route impacts the present historic cemetery. However, further work is recommended within the historic cemetery to completely identify all inscriptions as well as locate surviving tombstones.
