Phase II Evaluation, Site 18ST792, Point Lookout State Park (2006.056)

Summary

This project contains the results of a Phase II archaeological evaluation conducted on site 18ST792 located on a 3-acre parcel in Point Lookout State Park, St. Mary’s County, Maryland. The investigation was conducted in advance of a land exchange to be executed between the U.S. Navy and the State of Maryland. The purpose of the exchange is to allow the Navy to relocate its existing Communications Tower from the southern point of the Point Lookout peninsula. The land exchange would result in the Navy transferring the historic Point Lookout Lighthouse located at the point to the State of Maryland.

This collection and related materials are now located at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation (MAC) Lab.
