PROPOSED 391 -ACRE LITTLE RIVER REGIONAL PARK AND
NATURAL AREA IN ORANGE AND DURHAM COUNTIES,
U
NORTH CAROLINA.
SUBMITTED TO
ORANGE COUNTY ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCE
CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT
HILLSBOROUGH, NC
February 27, 2001
SCOPE OF WORK
Legacy Research Associates, Inc. (Legacy) is pleased to submit this proposal for a survey
of cultural resources for the proposed 391 -acre Little River Regional Park and Natural Area
in Orange and Durham Counties, North Carolina.
This proposal presents our understanding of the project and the methods we will use in
performing these studies; our fees are detailed in the attached itemized budget. The
proposal is based on a request for a proposal from the Orange County Environment and
Resource Conservation Department, as well as additional background information
obtained from the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, our previous
archaeological work in the Orange and Durham county area (Joy and Becker 1999; Stine
and Hargrove 1999), and our experience in documenting gristmills in the Carolina
Piedmont region (Joy et al. 2000).
Legacy proposes to provide the following services as requested by the RFP. Following
background research, the initial stage of fieldwork will be an intensive survey for
archaeological resources within the areas of the property that have been identified for the
construction of park facilities, as well as the mill site located along the North Fork of the
Little River. A limited field investigation will be conducted on the remainder of the
property.
The proposed studies will comply with pertinent state laws and regulations, including the
North Carolina Office of State Archaeology's Guidelines for Preparing Archaeological
Survey Reports and Archaeological Curation Standards and Guidelines. The research will
also be compatible with relevant federal regulations and guidelines, including the Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation's Procedures for the Protection of historic and Cultural
Properties (36 CFR 60, 800 et seq.); and the Secretary of Interior's Standards and
Guidelines for Archaeology and historic Preservation. The survey will also comply with the
Register of Professional Archaeologists' Standards of Research Performance.
RESEARCH METHODS
The cultural resource survey will be conducted in four stages: (1) Literature and
Background Research; (2) Field Investigations; (3) Laboratory Analysis; and (4) Technical
Report of the Archaeological Investigations.
Task 1: Literature and Background Research
The first task will consist of a review of the available archaeological and historical
literature concerning the project area. This work will be completed prior to the beginning
of fieldwork. This research will provide data on known resources in and around the survey
area, as well as the environmental and cultural perspectives necessary for interpreting the
survey results, and will be fully documented in the final report.
N,
The background research will begin with a review of the state archaeological files at the
North Carolina OSA to gather detailed information on the archaeological sites previously
recorded in or adjacent to the study area. Preliminary examination of OSA files indicates
that there are four previously recorded sites in the project area. These sites were
recorded by Legacy in 1999 as part of the Phase 1 archaeological assessment of property
being considered for development as a landfill.
In general, however, the project is located in a portion of Orange and Durham counties
that has not received intensive archaeological investigation. Any sites uncovered through
this survey will add important information to our knowledge of the prehistory and history
of the region. Based on previous work in the region we expect that most of the prehistoric
sites will be located on ridges within approximately 1 km of main drainage channels as
well as on ridge toes near the head of ephemeral tributaries (Joy and Becker 1999).
The background research will also include examination of historic documents and maps to
gather data on other potential site locations. Examples of relevant documents to be
examined include early twentieth- century maps of the area (e.g., USGS 1904 -05), which
depict house sites; general histories of Orange and Durham counties, and other studies of
the environment, prehistory, and history of the area. Many of these resources are familiar
to Legacy researchers through previous area projects (e.g., Joy and Becker 1999; Stine
and Hargrove 1999).
Another aspect of the Background Research will include consultation with OSA staff and
others archaeologists and individuals knowledgeable concerning the project area. The
Legacy staff is familiar with the South Lowell community and its historical importance to
northern Durham and Orange counties. The history of that community will provide an
important context for interpreting potential historic sites in the survey area. Dr. Stine
witnessed some of the 1980 renovations of the circa 1853 McMannen House, located just
southeast of the project area. At that time some stone foundations believed to be
associated with the nineteenth - century South Lowell Academy were visible (see also
Anderson 1990:82 -84). Dr. Stine has also visited one of the mill sites listed in the
proposal. These sites may prove to be part of John B. Leather's nineteenth - century mill
that was later purchased by Mr. McMannen, and renamed South Lowell Mill. This mill
apparently manufactured specialized grain milling machines (Anderson 1990:82). Legacy
researchers are familiar with mill research (e.g., Joy et. al. 2000) and look forward to
investigating the survey area's mill sites as part of this study.
Task 2: Fieldwork
The following field methods will be used during the survey. These consist of pedestrian or
walkover and surface survey complimented by subsurface inspection as appropriate for.
the local topography and ground cover described further below.
Walkover. Those parts of the survey area that exhibit over 15 percent slope will be
investigated through walkover survey.
Surface Survey. Surface survey consists of systematically examining bare ground to
determine if artifacts or surface traces indicative of an archaeological site are present.
Past experience has indicated that surface survey is effective only in situations where 50%
m
or more of the ground surface is visible and where there is no potential for buried (and
thus obscured) archaeological resources. It is not effective in areas where less than 50
percent of the surface is exposed, or in places where alluvial or colluvial soil deposits are
likely to be present. For the present project, this method will likely be used primarily in
examining trails, dirt roads, or transmission line corridors. In such areas, the researchers
will walk slowly along the exposed area looking for artifacts or other indications of an
archaeological site. If larger areas of exposed ground are present, the researchers will
traverse the area in transects spaced no more than 30 meters apart. The location of all
areas examined through surface survey will be placed on the project map.
Subsurface Survev. Most parts of the survey area will likely require subsurface testing due
to the presence of vegetation. Such testing will consist of the excavation of systematic
shovel tests at 30 -meter intervals along regularly spaced transacts placed at 30 -meter
intervals. Shovel tests will not be excavated in areas where slope exceeds 15 percent,
areas of standing water, or hydric soils. Each shovel test will measure about 30 -35 cm in
diameter, and will be excavated to sterile subsoil, bedrock, or a maximum depth of 70
cm. All removed soil will be screened through one - quarter -inch mesh hardware cloth to
ensure uniform artifact recovery. 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. The location of all survey transects will be placed on the project map.
Site Delineation. When a site is encountered, standard procedures will be followed to
gather preliminary data on cultural affiliation, site size and boundaries, integrity, and
significance in terms of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. These
procedures will likely include the excavation of additional shovel tests at 15 -meter to 7.5-
meter intervals and /or intensive surface inspection, depending on site characteristics. All
such testing will be confined to the project study corridor. A sketch map of each site
discovered or relocated 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 photographed and general notes will be taken concerning site location and
condition.
Archaeological sites will be defined as occurrences of three or more artifacts within a
discrete locale, and /or localities that exhibit evidence of intact surface or subsurface
cultural features. Occurrences of fewer than three artifacts will be designated isolated
finds, but sufficient investigations will be made to verify the isolated nature of the
occurrence. All artifacts recovered will be bagged by site and intra -site provenience. The
Principal Investigator and Field Director will maintain detailed notes on the survey
methodology, sites identified on the survey, and relevant environmental factors.
Cemeteries. Any cemeteries found will be recorded, but they will not be probed to
determine boundaries or the number of graves present. If unmarked human burials or
skeletal remains are found, the State Archaeologist will be notified immediately, following
the provisions of north Carolina G.S. 70, Article 3, The Unmarked Human Burial and
Skeletal Remains Protection Act.
5
Task 3: Laboratory Analysis and Reporting
Once the fieldwork is completed, the archaeological materials will be returned to Legacy's
Durham facility for processing. The artifacts will be cleaned and catalogued, and the
artifact collection from each site will be studied to determine 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.
Upon completion of the data analysis and synthesis, a draft final report will be submitted
for review and comment. This report will detail the results of the background research,
fieldwork, and laboratory analysis. The report 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, archaeological site
forms will be completed for each recorded site or isolated find. North Carolina Cemetery
Survey forms will be completed for all cemeteries recorded. Following receipt of
comments on the draft report, we will address all comments and produce the Final Report.
Legacy will temporarily curate all artifacts and records resulting from the project pending
final curation and will prepare all materials for curation following OSA guidelines. The
materials will be provided to the OSA for curation within 90 days of acceptance of the final
report.
