Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
In 1998 the park completed testing of the final 19 miles of the proposed 27-mile multiple use trail in Pennsylvania. Park staff, two park interns, and nineteen volunteers found four new sites, as well as conducting a Phase II evaluation at the Brodhead Site (36Pi30). Thirty previously identified sites were revisited, providing additional information on temporal affiliation and site limits.
Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River
A proposed new septic system for the Margold/Fire House in Lackawaxen, PA was archeologically evaluated using remote
sensing/GIS/GPS equipment, locating with very reliable data imaging, the floor of the D&H Canal.
A test trench excavated at the location indicated that a great majority of the stone used in the construction
of the canal walls had been salvaged or destroyed.
Independence National Historical Park
Archelogical monitoring of the installation of the chilled water lines from the central utility project was continued in 1998. Segments from Second to Third Streets and Third to Fourth Streets were completed. No significant archceological deposits were identified.
