The environmental setting at this spatial scale contributed significantly to the larger region's rich history. From a broad geographical perspective, the project APE lies within the Hudson Valley subdivision of the Hudson Mohawk Lowland physiographic province. Cressey (1977:29) describes this as"a 10-to 20-mile-wide lowland lying between the Helderberg Escarpment and Catskills on the west and the Taconics on the east. North of Albany it is wide and flat, covered with glacial lake deposits. Farther south the valley narrows and contains a complex of hills and terraces underlain with highly folded sedimentary rocks." The project setting is within the extreme northern section of this physiographic province. In terms of native vegetation, the state as a whole consists of a complex of northern hardwood species (excepting the Adirondacks and southeast)that can be divided into a typology of 5 specific forest zones, and the parcel lies within the Oak-Northern Hardwood subdivision of this mosaic (De Laubenfels 1977). The Oak-Northern Hardwood zone is described primarily as a transition zone where oaks and the northern hardwood species alternate or intermingle, particularly on the moister and deeper soils along the Hudson Valley. This suggests that the prehistoric forested landscape of the project parcel would have been covered primarily with beech and sugar maple and considerable oak, with associated ash, basswood, cherry, birch, and white pine. In terms of general soil properties, the project APE lies among soils that formed in glacial lake sediments on outwash plains, terraces and lakebeds of ancient Lake Albany. Three distinct soil types have been mapped within the project APE (Figure 3; Table 1; USDA 1989). The majority of the APE consists of Oakville loamy fine sand(OaB, OaC), which range between 3-8% and 8-15% slopes. This soil type includes much of the APE. Hinckley cobbly loamy sand is mapped on the western side of the project site, while Plainville and Oakville steep soils are found on the east. Hinckley cobbly sandy loam is known as a source of sand and gravel. The soil descriptions in Table 1 are generally consistent with the soils found within the project site, with the exception that many shovel tests in mapped Oakville locations found more rocky-cobbly soil than expected.

It is assumed that the land was cleared and farmed before mining and adjacent to the mined areas. The vegetation has reverted to relatively young forest(<50-60 years 2 l old), without open scrub and weeds in the former mine.i Existing conditions are shown in Photos 2-12. SITE FILES RESEARCH The archaeological site files of the New York State Museum (NYSM) and the Office of Parks. Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP), both maintained by OPRHP, were reviewed in order to identify whether archaeological resources have been reported previously within or adjacent to the project boundaries. This site file search was conducted to cover an approximate one-mile radius around the project area. Thirteen previously recorded archaeological sites were identified within the search radius. None of these sites occur within or adjacent to the proposed project. The previously recorded sites are listed in Table 2.

None are closer to the project site than 958 feet (approximately 2/10 mile). Little is known about the precise period of the precontact period sites. Both village sites and campsites (often reported using antiquated concepts or evaluations) are identified. No precontact or historic Native American burial sites are reported. Several of the historic period sites date to the 18th century, either to the French and Indian War or the period of Quaker settlement that occurred soon afterward. In addition. a 19th century farmstead was identified. PREVIOUS RESEARCH The following literature represents submitted archaeological survey reports within the one- mile search radius. 3 Curtin, Edward V., Consulting Archaeologist 2002 Phase 1A/1 B Archaeological Survey, Proposed Route 9 Sewer District, Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York. Clark, Nancy and L. Jason Fenton 2007 Phase 1A Archaeological Literature Review and Sensitivity Assessment& Phase IB i Archaeological Field Reconnaissance, Proposed Lake George RV Resort Project, Town of Queensbury, Warren County, New York. Henke, Janice 1977 Evaluation & Cultural Resources Within Warren County New York Sanitary Sewer District 2nd Alternate. The data from the archaeological site files indicate that the Henke and Clark and Fenton reports do not show evidence of archaeological sites in the vicinity of the present project. The report by Edward V. Curtin, Consulting Archaeologist also did not identify archaeological sites in the vicinity of the present project site. This survey included shovel testing along both sides of Sweet Road immediately adjacent to the project site (this report, Photos 2 and 3), including the road entrance and sewer connection along Sweet Road. During the 2002 survey, shovel testing was intensified along both sides of Sweet Road in this vicinity in response to a suggestion from a former local resident that an old Indian or military road may be in the vicinity. However, despite shovel testing at a reduced (5 meter) interval, no evidence of archaeological sites or of a possibly historic road or trail other than Sweet Road was found. A haul road into the gravel mine intersects Sweet Road in this vicinity, and during 2002, 5-meter interval shovel testing was conducted at this intersection, without finding evidence of historic activity. NATIONAL REGISTER SITES No National Register of Historic Places listed sites were identified in the vicinity of the propqsed project. MAP RESEARCH The following maps, ordered chronologically, were consulted to identify possible historic sites. Where possible, maps were rectified using ArcGIS 9.1 software. Map coverage is inclusive for the years 1779 to 1955. Table 3: Historic Maps Consulted Date Figure Author Title Listing in/near APE A Chorographical Map of the Province of 1779 6 C.J.

The only house in the general vicinity is the Sweet house (Photo 1) on the other side of Sweet Road. The Sweet house appears to be recorded on the 1858 map, and is shown thereafter with increasing accuracy and precision on the 1876, 1895/1927 and 1947/1955 maps. It is screened from the project by trees that will remain on the project site. The modern (1966 7.5') USGS quad (Figure 2) shows more recent structures in the general vicinity, although none are shown within the project boundaries. The western portion of the project site is labeled "gravel pit" on the 1966 USGS quad. ARCHAEOLOGICAL SENSITIVITY The project site has been considered sensitive for the occurrence of precontact period (a.k.a. prehistoric) archaeological sites due to the occurrence of several precontact sites in the one mile search radius, and the environmentally conducive location near the head of the gully with waters that feed Halfway Brook. The project APE has low sensitivity for the presence of historic period archaeological resources, since there are no map documented structures within the project parcel. Also, prior survey in the immediate vicinity has not found evidence of historic archaeological sites in or adjacent to the project site (Curtin 2002). Historically recorded military sites, such as those identified in the site file search, reportedly occur some distance (i.e., more than '/ mile) away. PRIOR DISTURBANCE Extensive prior disturbance due to mining has occurred in the western section of the project site. The evidence of mining activity is visible on the ground, as well as in the steep contours marking cut banks on project mapping. The location of the mine is noted on the 1966 USGS topographic map (Figure 2). Prior disturbance is deep and extensive enough to remove archaeological sensitivity from the mined area. Photos 7, 10, and 11 show the mined area. More limited disturbance has been created by the construction of a dirt bike obstacle course (an example showing series of long, deep excavated pits is presented in Photo 8). This is in the vicinity of Transects 11 and 12 in the eastern section of the APE. PHASE 1A SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS A complete and comprehensive Phase 1A study has been conducted. Based on environmental considerations and site file search results, the project parcel is deemed sensitive for the presence of precontact period archaeological sites. and has low sensitivity for historic period archaeological sites. Given the sensitivity for precontact period sites, a Phase 1B survey is necessary. The results of the Phase 1B survey are presented below. PHASE 1B ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD INVESTIGATIONS The Phase 1B field survey was conducted over the course of 2 weeks during June 2012. Weather conditions were generally sunny while fieldwork was conducted, but with thunderstorms and intermittent rain. The transects were laid out by the field director; the shovel testing was conducted by the field director and 4 field technicians. The Phase 1B field methodology was guided by Section 2.3 of the New York Archaeological Council Standards (NYAC 1994) as well as guidelines provided by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (SHPO 2005). In areas that were not characterized by high slope or obvious disturbance, parallel transects of shovel test pits (STPs) were placed at a 15m (50ft) interval within the project APE; along these transects, shovel tests 1 5 I were deployed every 15 meters. All soils were screened through Y4-inch mesh hardware cloth, with artifacts bagged per stratum. Photographs (Appendix B)were taken of the project APE to demonstrate current conditions, including areas of visibly obvious prior disturbance. Following the completion of fieldwork, all field data were brought to the Curtin Archaeology labs for processing and analysis. PHASE 1B ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY RESULTS Shovel Testing A total of 155 STPs were deployed across the unmined portion of the APE (also, 2 areas with slopes in excess of 12-15%were not shovel tested). Of this deployment, 5 STPs were not excavated due to either high slope (>12-15%) or previous disturbance associated with broad and deep excavation to create a dirt bike obstacle course containing pits. Table 4: Phase 1B STP Summary STPs n= @15m 155 1 no digs -5 Total 150 Given the variable nature of sandy or cobbly soil, STP depth varied. The STPs were excavated through the topsoil into the subsoil. Where sand prevailed, excavation was typically to depths greater than 50 cm. Where sand overlay gravelly-or gravelly-rocky soil, or where cobbly soil prevailed, excavation often was less deep, but still typically in excess of 40 cm. All deployed shovel tests are displayed on Figure 12. Figure 12 also shows the area previously tested along Sweet Road (Curtin 2002). The shovel test pit records are presented in Appendix C. Soil Stratigraphy Phase 1B excavations revealed an overall soil profile within the project APE that met expectations reasonably well in comparison to the soil survey data summarized in the Phase 1A survey. The main departure was in the occurrence of gravel and rocks in or below predominately sandy soil, especially at depth. In some cases the mapped sandy soil type may overlie cobbly soil. Most often, the soil profile consisted of a medium brown loamy sand, 20-40 cm thick, over a yellow brown or dark yellow brown loamy sand subsoil. Occasionally a lighter yellow or yellow gray third stratum was reached. An alternative profile found in some areas consisted of rocky to very rocky or cobbly sandy soil with similar horizonation and color. The amount of gravel in the sandy soil varied, but a trace was noted frequently, and the volume of gravel sometimes increased with depth. The remaining Hinckley soil was similar but with more cobbles and gravel. 1 Occasionally, buried A horizons were noted below a thin, redeposited brown soil. In some STPs, truncation of the original A and upper B was noted. No precontact period artifacts were found. Modern or recent historic artifacts were found in the topsoil, and in one case (at STP 24/4) in the subsoil. Modern/Recent Historic Assemblage Modern or recent historic artifacts were found in 40 archaeological contexts, including the topsoil of 38 STPs, and the topsoil and subsoil of STP 24/4. The kinds of artifacts recovered include undecorated whiteware (manufactured 1820 to present-day); modern whiteware made for the tourist trade, bearing partial emblems of Fort William Henry; modern whiteware with floral decal on the body or gold paint on the rim; modern or late historic whiteware with maker's marks such as Syracuse China or Petrus (R)egout and 6 i Company; a redware flower pot fragment; clear, green, or brown bottle or vessel glass; animal teeth; animal bone fragments (most often butchered); clamshell (and possible snail shell); individual pieces of flat glass and plastic: and unidentified ferrous metal fragments. Nails and roofing materials are notably missing from this assemblage, as is window(flat) glass, with one exception. Also missing are other various kinds of artifacts typically associated with historic period archaeological sites, such as smoking pipe fragments. personal items, early ceramic wares, and 18th-19th century utilitarian wares, such as glazed redware or salt-glazed gray stoneware.

Some of this assemblage may be residual from materials inadvertently spread with fertilizer. Other items may 7 represent varied incidental, even recreational activities on the property. However, this refuse is widely scattered, and the assemblage does not indicate the presence of an archaeological site. Most STPs containing artifacts produced only a few (1-7) items. In some cases, where more items were recovered, as in the case of glass bottle fragments at STP 6/3, or probably where 9 small whiteware sherds were found at STP 15/12, a single item has broken into many pieces. With respect to periods of manufacture, undecorated whiteware has been made from 1820 to the present day; no further refinement of dating is possible. The ceramics with readable maker's marks appear to indicate 20`h century dates of manufacture [for example, the Sphinx emblem on Petrus Regout ceramics has been used since 1879 (InfoFaience 2011-2013), and the version depicted in this collection is similar to that used in the 1920s and 1930s]. The flower decal and gold paint on rim treatments also date to the late 19`h and 20Th centuries. The limited diversity of the artifact assemblage suggests that the majority of items present were selectively transported into the project site for limited purposes, such as meals or recreation, with a minority perhaps spread inadvertently with fertilizer. Spatially, the artifact finds are dispersed, with tendencies to be relatively proximal (within 300 feet) of Sweet Road, or to occur on the other side of the National Grid power line from the rest of the project(and close to several property lines). These areas are reasonably accessible to foot or other traffic along the road, the power line corridor, or adjoining properties, and from these points of entrance into the survey area. PHASE 1B FIELD SURVEY SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Phase 1 B archaeological survey of the proposed Cerrone Builders 29-Lot Conservation Subdivision on Sweet Road has identified no archaeological sites. The western portion of the project site is a former mine identified on USGS mapping as long ago as 1966 as a gravdl pit. The unmined portion has been shovel tested comprehensively through the excavation of 150 shovel test pits spaced at 15 meter(50 foot) intervals. No precontact period or early historic period artifacts were found. The artifacts that were recovered appear to represent incidental late-19`h through 20t century activities. In addition, the adjoining area next to Sweet Road was archaeologically surveyed in 2002, and identified no evidence of archaeological sites. As a result of the combined findings of the Phase 1A and 1 B surveys, no archaeological sites have been identified, and no additional archaeological survey is recommended. 8 1 REFERENCES Cressey, George B. 1977 Land Forms.
