Box 8181 Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 By: TRC GARROW ASSOCIATES, INC. 501 Washington Street, Suite F Durham, North Carolina 27701 November 2002 INTRODUCTION TRC Garrow Associates, Inc. (TRC) is pleased to submit this proposal for a cultural and archaeological survey of the Chapel Hill Township Park and Educational Campus (CHAPTEC) in southeastern Orange County, North Carolina. The proposal is based on the Request for Proposal (RFP) and accompanying maps provided by the Orange County Environment and Resource Conservation Department (ERCD), and on our previous experience with projects of this type in this area. The Orange County ERCD has commissioned this study to provide information to guide siting of future park and school facilities and to identify areas of historic and cultural interest for interpretation. The Orange County ERCD has requested a comprehensive survey of the proposed construction sites and a limited survey of the remainder of the property. The project area involves a 193-acre tract south of Eubanks Road and east of Old Route 86. The project area includes ridgetop, slope, and floodplain settings at the headwaters and near the confluence of Buckhorn Branch and Jones Creek. The confluence of these drainages forms Bolin Creek just outside the project area to the southeast. Several historic period resources have been identified on the property, including a 1929 farmhouse with associated outbuildings (Cate Farmstead), log tobacco barns, and a nineteenth century log cabin. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The cultural and archaeological survey will be conducted in four stages: (A) background research; (B) surface and subsurface investigation of the Cate Farmstead, tobacco barns, and log cabin site; (C) field reconnaissance for the remainder of the property; and (D) reporting of results. Task A: Background Research The first task will consist of a review of the available archaeological and historical literature concerning the project area, and will be completed prior to the beginning of fieldwork. This research will provide the environmental and cultural perspectives necessary for interpreting the survey results as well as data on known resources in and adjacent to the survey area, and will be fully documented in the final report. The background research will begin with a review of the state historic structure and archaeological site files and reports at the North Carolina Division of Archives and History Office of State Archaeology (OSA) and Survey and Planning Department in Raleigh to gather additional information available for the previously recorded resources present on the tract and for other sites documented nearby. Following this review, we will consult pertinent sources, such as An Inventory of Cultural, Historical, Recreational, Biological, and Geological Significance in the Unincorporated Portions of Orange Counry, the Historic Preservation Element Orange County Comprehensive Plan (The Jaeger Company 1996), Test Excavations at Selected Log Cabin Sites in Orange County, North Carolina (Daniel and Ward 1993), An Archaeological Survey of Portions of Orange County, North Carolina (Daniel 1994), Carolina Dwelling (Swaim 1978), the Hillsborough Historical Society Journal, and the ERCD research files, as well as resources available at the North Carolina Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill, the North Carolina State Archives and Library, and other repositories to identify published or unpublished data concerning the project area and relevant site and structure types. Page - 1 Task B: Surface and Subsurface Investigation of the Cate Farmstead, Tobacco Barn and Log Cabin Site A team consisting of the Principal Investigator and one Archaeological Technician will conduct the archaeological survey of the proposed construction areas, including areas around the Cate Farmstead house and outbuildings, the log cabins in the eastern portion of the tract, and the tobacco barns near the south entrance driveway. Both surface and subsurface methods will be used as appropriate for the topography and ground cover. This testing will consist of the excavation of systematic and/or strategically placed shovel tests to be determined by the conditions at each location. Sufficient subsurface investigation will be made to determine cultural affiliation, site size and boundaries, integrity, and significance (in terms of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places [NRHP]) of these resources. Each shovel test will measure about 30-35 cm in diameter, and will be excavated to sterile subsoil or bedrock. All removed soil will be screened through one-quarter-inch mesh hazdwaze cloth to ensure uniform artifact recovery. All artifacts recovered will be bagged by site and intra-site provenience. Each shovel test will be described in terms of depth, stratigraphy, and artifact recovery, and the texture and Munsell soil color of all soils will be recorded. A sketch map of each site will be produced, and the site and its limits will be entered on the project map. The location of each shovel test will be placed on the site sketch map, and notes will be maintained on the soil profiles and artifact content of each shovel test. Each site will be photogaphed in black and white print and color slide formats, and general notes will be taken concerning site location and condition. Task C: Field Reconnaissance for Remainder of the Property The reconnaissance of the remainder of the project tract will be conducted by a surface inspection along transects spaced 30 m apart. As requested in the RFP, this task will not involve a systematic shovel testing program; however, limited shovel testing will be performed in selected areas. This reconnaissance level of investigation will provide data regarding all above ground structures, including cemeteries. This coverage will allow the development of a model predicting the potential for the presence of intact azchaeological sites within the tract and gather sufficient data to complete a site form for any sites identified. The level of effort, however, may not result in an identification of all significant archaeological resources within the project tract or in definitive deternunations regarding the eligibility of all of the identified resources. Recommendations on the potential need for further survey will be included in the final report. Future reseazch in these areas will be commissioned at the discretion of the Orange County ERCD. Any marked cemeteries in the survey area will be recorded, but they will not be probed to determine boundaries or the number of graves present. Any cemetery delineations that may be required aze beyond the scope of this proposal, although we can perform these services under a separate scope of work if necessary. If unmarked human burials or skeletal remains are found, the Orange County ERCD will be notified immediately; the proper authorities will then be notified according to the provisions of North Carolina G.S. 70, Article 3, The Unmarked Human Burial and Skeletal Remains Protection Act. Task 3: Reporting of Results Once the fieldwork is completed, the recovered artifacts will be returned to TRC's Durham facility for processing. The artifacts will be cleaned and catalogued, and the artifact collection from each site will be studied to deternune the date or dates of occupations present and the range of activities carried out at each site. The vertical and horizontal distributions of the materials from each site will be studied so that the nature and extent of the site can be better understood. Page - 2 The final task consists of reporting the findings of the study. During the performance of the first three tasks, TRC will keep the Orange County ERCD informed of the progress of the work on at least a bi- weekly basis through verbal reports. The Orange County ERCD will also be provided specific information regarding the Cate Farmstead and log cabin sites prior to the completion of fieldwork. Approximately halfway through the project we will provide a Preliminary Field Report that presents the project findings to date; preliminary mapping of identified resources; a preliminary assessment of the significance of any recorded resources; information on the work remaining; and the expected date of completion of the final report. We will also prepare a brief (15-20 minute) presentation of the preliminary project results for the Chapel Hill Township Park and Educational Campus Master Plan Work Group by this time. When the fieldwork and analysis is complete, TRC will produce draft and revised final versions of a technical report detailing the results of the background research, fieldwork, and laboratory analysis. The repoR will be thorough and complete and will be illustrated with photographs and drawings of archaeological sites and artifacts, as needed, and will conform to the reporting standards presented in the OSA guidelines. In addition to the report, updated or new archaeological site forms will be completed for each recorded site or isolated find, as appropriate. The report will provide recommendations concerning the significance of any cultural resources discovered, as well as recommendations for future survey and management and/or investigation of these resources. Any additional investigations are beyond the scope of the present proposal. TRC will temporarily curate any artifacts recovered during production and review of the draft and final reports. The permanent curation repository of all project materials and collections will be determined in consultation with the client and the OSA, but will likely be the Office of State Archaeology Research Center in Raleigh. Orange County ERCD will be responsible for curation costs for records and artifacts resulting from the project and this cost is not included in the attached budget. SCHEDULE TRC will proceed with this project in an expeditious manner once written Notice to Proceed (NTP) is received. Barring circumstances beyond our control, such as extended periods of adverse weather, the background research and fieldwork is expected to be completed within three weeks. The Preliminary Field Report will be prepared and submitted to the Orange County ERCD by February 4, 2003. Two copies of the Draft Final Report will be submitted to the Orange County ERCD no later than February 14, 2003. The report will be revised as necessary and four copies of the Revised Final Report will be submitted to Orange County ERCD no later than February 28, 2003. The Orange County ERCD will also be provided with copies of all field maps and copies of all black and white photographs. BUDGET TRC proposes to complete these studies on a lump sum basis as requested in the RFP. The attached budget provides details on our proposed costs by task. Invoices will be provided every month for the duration of the project.
