The purpose of this phase was to identify foundations, dumps, or vegetative changes indicative of buried archaeological resources. Each swatch was 200' wide and spaced 200' from its neighbor. The walkover reconnaissance was carried out along seven north to south oriented swatches that paralleled Route 6 to the east. Property random soil auger testing and the excavation of shovel test pits. Testing consisted of three stages: a walkover reconnaissance of the entire
The Phase I survey was carried out in June and July of 1982 under a permit issued by the Office of the State Archaeologist (permit 504) with Beth Bower as the Principal Archaeologist and Leonard Loparto as the prehistoric consultant. more The Oak Ridge Site was discovered during a Phase I (Intensive) archaeological survey conducted by the Museum African American History on the 26 acres where a wastewater/ sewage treatment plant (today referred to as the Tri-town sewage treatment plant) was proposed to be built. The Oak Ridge Site was discovered during a Phase I (Intensive) archaeological survey conducted by. These were 1) the information that the faunal remains could provide on the changing nature of the cove from which the species were gathered 2) the contribution to the total meat portion of the diet that was made by various species 3) and the use of hook and line fishing technology versus nets to collect the fish resources. Three main differences were noted and deemed worthy of further investigation. During the initial quantification of the data for this work, it was noted that while the features and their contents were similar in a number of ways they also differed significantly. The present study seeks to understand the subsistence system of the Native people living at the Sandy’s Point site at two points in its occupation. Due to the similar nature and contents of these two features, it was felt that they could provide comparative information concerning the subsistence patterns of two groups of inhabitants at the site, centuries apart. Feature 1, a smaller, discrete deposit of similar remains, was dated to approximately 360 years before present. Feature 29, a large, shallow deposit of shellfish, pottery, lithics and vertebrate remains, was dated to approximately 930 years before present.
Feature 29 and feature 1 were situated on the eastern and western edges of the site respectively. This work focuses on two features that contained the bulk of the faunal remains recovered. Massachusetts at Boston revealed that occupation at the site extended as far back as the Late Archaic and extensive features representing hearths, postholes, roasting pits, and a storage pit were found scattered across much of the point. Important discovery in New England archaeology due to the fact that sites are rarelyįound as untouched and pristine as this one.
