METHODOLOGY: ARCHEOLOGICAL MONITORING
|
Archeological monitoring was conducted by the author during mechanized excavation. Soil
profiles were observed as was spoil from the excavation to determine if archeological resources
were present and to evaluate the integrity of those resources. All recovered objects were placed
in plastic bags labelled by provenience, and all significant soil profiles recorded by measured
drawing and photography. All recovered objects were cataloged using the Automated National
Catalog System and the National Park Service's Manual for Museums. All artifacts and
documentary materials are on deposit at Independence National Historical Park in Accession #
3845. All depths were recorded in reference to the surface of the existing sidewalk. Horizontal
location was measured from the existing curb lines.
