Phase I archaeological Investigation, Qualification Training Range, Fort Lee (FL2010.002)

Summary

Fort Lee Cultural Resources Program staff conducted a Phase I archaeological investigation for the Qualification Training Range (QTR) on Fort Lee in Prince George County, Virginia. Based on historic maps, current topographic data, environmental surveys and visual inspections it was determined that much of the area is poorly drained, low-lying soil. Consequently a low probability shovel testing investigation was conducted. During the course of this survey the remnants of a stone and brick pile structure foundation were recorded on the surface. Intensive shovel testing was performed in the immediate vicinity of these features. This led to the identification of site 44PG0541, a 20th century structure that may be associated with an African American community documented in the area. Further research is needed to determine the significance of this site and should be conducted if the site is to be impacted in the future.

This project contains a survey report and artifact catalog from the phase I survey of the Qualification Training Range (QTR) site located at Fort Lee, Virginia.

  1. Phase I Archaeological Identification: Qualification Training Range (QTR) Site Fort Lee, VA (2011)
    DOCUMENT Full-Text Bryce Stanley. Amanda Vtipil.

    In 2007 Fort Lee, Virginia, drafted a Range Master Plan that identified plans for the existing ranges as well as future expansion. A Qualification Training Range (QTR) was included among those plans. The proposed QTR will comprise approximately 40 acres (161,874 square meters) and will be constructed immediately north of an existing range (Range 4) and east of Fort Lee’s existing impact area (See Appendix A). Because the project area lies adjacent to an impact area and had the potential to...
