Summary

GAI Consultants, Inc. conducted cultural resource investigations from May to August 1985 and again from July to August 1986 at five locales in preparation for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed replacement of Locks and Dams 7 and 8 on the Monongahela River in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The principal investigator was Beverly A. Mitchum and the project manger was Robert J. Houston. The study consisted of a review of the archaeological sites within one-half-kilometer of the Monongahela River along its entire length. A total of 115 sites were listed in the inventory but artifacts were only collected from eight sites: 36FA91, 36FA128, 36FA362, 36FA364, 36FA365, 36FA366, 36FA367, and 36FA368 (Houston and Mitchum 1986).

The digital materials in this collection were processed by the Veterans Curation Program (VCP), and include the artifact database, artifact report, finding aid, original investigation report, scanned asset key, and select artifact photographs. Additional digital materials held by the VCP include additional artifact photographs, document folder listing, initial data collection, inventory, and notes.
