Pearson Creek Survey, Naval Air Station Patuxent River (1999.009)

Summary

This project contains an artifact inventory, distribution data, and official report from Phase I excavations at Pearson Creek, Maryland. The goal of the project was to identify and inventory all archaeological sites within the project boundary in accordance with Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The Pearson Creek Survey took place on Naval Air Station Patuxent River (NASPAX) and is found in St. Mary’s County, within Maryland Archaeological Research Unit Number 9. The survey covered approximately 1.5 miles of creek shoreline and consisted of 1,038 shovel test pits. The survey located twelve archaeological sites; six were newly identified and six were previously-known sites. Of these twelve sites, eight are prehistoric and four are multicomponent. Two sites, 18ST706 and 18ST709, are considered ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The remaining sites, 18ST394, 18ST395, 18ST476, 18ST477, 18ST482, 18ST491, 18ST705, 18ST707, 18ST708, and 18ST710, are potentially eligible, although further work is needed to assess them.
