PREFACE i
The Philadelphia Electric Company (PEco) has proposed construction of four transmission lines totalling 45.5 linear i- miles to serve the Limerick Nuclear Generating Station. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) requested that 1
. an archeological investigation be conducted to assist in l compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 4
1969, the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, Executive Order 11593, and other federal and state mandates, i John Milner Associates, Inc. (J M A) is conducting the investigation on behalf of PECo.
The four transmission lines included 220-61, Limerick to
, Cromby on the westerly side of the Schuylkill River; 220-60,
?' Limerick to Cromby on the easterly side of the Schuylkill River; 220-62, Cromby to North Wales; and 220-63, Cromby to Plymouth Meeting. Each of these lines was subject to t archeological survey, testing, and data recovery in j accordance with procedures developed by PECo and JMA and concurred with by PHMC.
Five reports will be generated by the investigation. The first four reports, including the one presented herein, describe the research conducted on each of the four transmission lines. The purpose of these descriptive reports 1
- is to document the work conducted in order to expedite agency review. The final report will present the analyses of data 4
from the four rights-of-way and'will provide a regional
- prehistoric cultural synthesis of the Middle Schuylkill River Valley.
The field survey of the Limerick transmission-lines was-carried out over a period of 13 months, f rom November 3,1982
, through December 23, 1983, under the ' direction of Karyn L.
Zatz, Kenneth M. Joire', and Robert F. Hoffman.- Field' assistance was provided by -21 archeologists including Lauren Archibald, David Bachman, Julie Baker, Kenneth.Baumgardt, Kelly Blough, Catherine Braik, Andrew Cosans, Eric Dennis, Elisabeth Ervin, Edward Goodley, Denise Guido, Thomas McCabe,:
William Miller, Charles Neiss, Michael Parrington, William i Roberts IV, Michael Rast, Sarah Ruch, Ronald Selin, Mark Shaffer, and Bruce Ste11 fox. Artifact processing and analyses were undertaken.by -Elisabeth Ervin, Michael Rast,
, and Mark Shaffer. Kenneth Joire' provided a11~ artifact
- photographs. Graphics were prepared by Sarah ~Ruch.' The report was principally authored and edited by Karyn L. Zatz, Kenneth M. 'Joire', and Robert F. Hoffman, Lwith a contribution by Michael.Parrington. . Thomas _ L.- Struthers) assisted in v
i l editing the report. Project administration was provided by Daniel G. Roberts, Director of Cultural Resources Services at !
JMA. The manuscript was typed by Pamela McAlonan and Susan B. Schooler. Report production was accomplished by Cathy Leigh Mumford and Pamela McAlonan.

\
. In addition to the JMA personnel noted above, several ,
i individuals contributed substantially to the completion of the project. Of particular note is Walter C. Payne, survey )
coordinator of the Real Estate Department of PECo, who [
i provided guidance and assistance in all aspects of the _
survey. M r. Payne took on the large task of locating and
- photographing artifact collections from the project area and provided assistance in all phases of fieldwork, laboratory 3
analysis, and report preparation. His dedication, interest, and knowledge in the field of archeology has contributed
- significantly to the sucessful completion of this project.
, We would also like to thank Peter M. Cava, Anthony Milone, Harry Bechtel, and Harvey Schenck of PECo for their assistance. They arranged for clearances and rights of entry onto private property, provided machinery used in the Phase II Survey, and most importantly made every effort to redesign
- the transmission lines and modify construction techniques in order to avoid or minimize adverse effects to archeological resources.
1 We are also grateful for the assistance provided by the members of the Schuylkill Valley Chapter of the Society- of Pennsylvania Archeology and other avocational archeologists for allowing us to photograph, catalogue, and inventory their j artifact collections.

I. IlffRODUCTION A. Scope of the Project This project is one of a series of archeological investigations associated with construction of the Limerick Nuclear Generating Station. It consisted of a multi-phased prehistoric archeological survey of the proposed construction right-of-way for the 220-60 PECo Transmission Line. The ,
survey covered approximately 7.4 linear miles of existing PECO and Reading Railroad right-of-way located in Limerick and Upper Providence Townships, Montgomery County, and East Pikeland Township, Chester County.
In accordance with the goals of the Phase I and II archeological surveys, the purpose of this investigation was to locate, identify, and evaluate all archeological resources within the rights-of-way and .to evaluate potential effects to them.
This report describes the research methods, the artif acts, features, and stratigraphy encountered in the course of the investigation. It is organized by transmission.line structures to facilitate client review and agency licensing.
Similar investigations of three other transmission line .
rights-of-way will be organized and presented .in the -same manner. Detailed analysis is currently being conducted of all data from the similar investigations. It will~ result in a separate archeological report presenting a regional 1
cultural synthesis of the Middle Schuylkill River Valley.
The report will present the results of the data analysis and a summary of past archeological surveys conducted in the study area. Inter-site and intra-site frequencies and distributions of lithic material types, diagnostic projectile points, and other artifacts will be presented. The data will then be used to test predictive models. Questions concerning l
prehistoric settlement patterning, subsistence, and site I function will be addressed.
i B. Previous Investications Beginning in 1972, a Phase I Archeological Survey of the
, Limerick Nuclear Generating Station, conducted by Holzinger and Humphreville, concluded that construction of the plant on the easterly side of the Schuylkill River would not disturb archeological sites. It also concluded that construction on the westerly side of'the river would have an adverse effect on archeological resources due to " numerous Indian camps situated there during the Archaic and Early Woodland Periods" (Holzinger and Humphre _1le 1972:7). .
4 1
Struthers and Hof fman (1982) of. JMA conducted a field reconnaissance of 24 previously recorded archeological sites in or near proposed transmission. line rights-of-way. The survey was undertaken ~in order to ascertain the.present-I condition of the sites and to more precisely define their location relative'to the. construction rights-of-way. It was determined that as many as 13 previously recorded sites might -
I 2
l l extend into the right-of-way (Struthers and Hoffman 1982:13).
Subsequently, PECo and JMA developed a locational predictive model, a testing program, and other resource management l l
l procedures. By letter of December 8,1982 (Appendix 6) the PHMC Bureau for Historic Preservation concurred with the proposed procedures and indicated that their implementation
! would adequately consider cultural resources-and would result in a determination of no adverse effect.
C. Description of Transmission Line 220-60 Located primarily in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania on the easterly side of the Schuylkill River (Figure 1), the 220-60 4 transmission line begins at the Limerick Nuclear Generating Station in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The transmission line lies primarily within.an existing Reading Railroad right-of-way 60 feet in width, which approximately parallels the river in a southerly direction for a distance of 6.3 miles. The line then leaves the railroad right-of-way and joins an existing PECo right-of-way 250 feet in width, for a distance of 1.1 miles, where it crosses the river into Chester County and enters the Cromby Generating Station
- (Figures 2 and 3).
i i
f Fifty-eight structure footings are proposed for this transmission line and vary.in diameter from six.to ten feet.
The footings of these structures are constructed by using-an auger to drill to bedrock. The auger hole 'is .then lined with -
3
reinforcing bar and filled with concrete. Tubular steel towers 82 to 120 feet high are then anchored to the footings.
In some instances, access to structure locations requires construction of temporary roads. This road construction involves removal of the plowzone and the placing of ballast l
rock in the stripped area. Once construction of the structure is completed, the ballast rock is removed and the plowzone is replaced in order to restore the field to its original condition.

II. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING OF THE PROJECT AREA l
A. Topography and Geology Situated in the Piedmont Lowlands of the Piedmont l Physiographic Province (Fenneman and Johnson 1946),
topographic features of the project area include low rolling hills interspersed with floodplains, floodplain terraces, and steep-sided bluffs. Elevations within the project area range from 120 feet to 200 feet above sea level.
Geologically, the project area is situated in the Newark Triassic Basin (Socolow 1980), the bedrock of which was deposited as sediment approximately 225 million years ago during the continental rifting of the Mesozoic Era. The Triassic lowlands are composed of metamorphosed or folded soft shales and sandstones broken and tilted by normal faulting (Thornbury 1965). The project area is directly underlain by the Brunswick Formation (Berg and Dodge 1978) which is collectively ccmposed of red-brown beds of shale, siltstone, and mudstone with a few layers of interbedded argillite. The variations in elevation noted in the paragraph above are the result of differential weathering and scouring of bedrock materials. Lower elevations are underlain primarily by sof t shales and sandstone while the higher elevations contain relatively greater amounts of resistant rock such as quartzite and diabase.
S
B. Hydrology and Soils The project area is located within the Delaware River drainage basin and parallels the primary tributary, the Schuylkill River. The Schuylkill River headwaters are located approximately five miles north of Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, in the Appalachian Highlands. The Schuylkill flows approximately 120 miles in a southeasterly direction to its confluence with the Delaware River in Philadelphia (Nolan 1951). The project area is well-watered by such streams as Possum Hollow Run, Brooke Evans Creek, Mingo Creek, and innumerable smaller streams which eventually feed into the Schuylkill River. The dendretic drainage pattern formed by these streams is the result of glacial activity.
The soils of the project area are primarily of the Rowland-Birdsboro-Raritan-Bucks association and are composed of deep well drained to somewhat poorly drained soils with slopes in the zero to eight percent range (Smith et aL. 19 6 7 )
Exceptions to the above generally occur along the floodplains of the Schuylkill River, where sediments deposited in the form of sand, clay, silt, vegetation, or material from mining activities (culm) resulted in the accumulation of alluvium (Pa r k e r, at aL.19 64 ) .
C. Climate, Flora, and Fauna The project area contains two distinct microenvironments.
The first of these is the well-drained woodland microenvironment present on the bluf f s and hills. Slopes 6
tend to be gentle to moderate, ranging from zero to eight percent. The soils in these areas are suitable for open land and woodland wildlife, depending on the degree of clearing.
During the early Holocene these hills were covered by open I
boreal woodlands and forests at the higher elevations. As the Wisconsin glaciers retreated and the climate moderated, these boreal forests were gradually replaced by the deciduous forests now present in the area. Paleontological studies indicate that megafauna associated with arctic and subarctic climates and vegetation was present in the area (Sirkin 1977). As the glaciers retreated the megafauna was replaced by present day species. The forest canopies present today include oak and a variety of hardwood plants such as dogwood, persimmon, sumac, sassafras, ha elnut, wild cherry, hickory, huckleberry, holly, and herbaceous upland plants such as panic grass, partridge pea, and native lespedeza. Animals that f requented such well-drained forests in the past are deer, bear, turkey, elk, squirrel, fox, raccoon, grouse, and woodcock. The large variety of mast-producing species in this microenvironment include hickory, walnut, and oak. Fall and early winter are the periods when nuts mature and also the time most suitable for the hunting of mast-associated fauna such as turkey. During the colder months of the winter, white tailed deer engage in yarding, a practice which concentrates these animals for mass hunts.
The second microenvironment found in the project area is composed of streams, rivers, and associated floodplains.
7
During the Holocene, these floodplains, which were areas of relatively low elevation, would have supported tundra-like conditions. As the glaciers retreated, the boreal-tundra flora was replaced by the oak forest that exists today. The vegetation is similar to that of the well-drained woodland environment to which water-resistent species such as willow, i red maple, gum, and swamp oak have been added. The understory of such a forest is much denser than its upland counterpart and would, accordingly, provide more cover and browse for wildlife. The animal inhabitants range from insects, snakes, and ducks to deer, bear, squirrel, mink, i
otter, muskrat, turkey, and beaver. Because of the greater natural browse of this microenvironment, browse-oriented species such as deer find this an optimum feeding habitat.
The resources of this microenvironment also include
- freshwater species of fish, turtles,.and mussels, f

III. CULTURAL OVERVIEW The following discussion briefly outlines six major cultural traditions or periods which archeologists typically recognize for the Northeast and, accordingly, are applicable to the study area.
A. Paleo-Indian ( c.10 . 0 0 0 B.C. - c. 8.0 0 0 B.C.)
The Paleo-Indian tradition is the earliest widespread North American cultural tradition for which there is abundant evidence all over North and even South America. Although artifacts diagnostic of Paleo-Indian are known for southeastern Pennsylvania, they are quit uncommon. The primary distinctive hallmark of Paleo-Indian is the fluted point, a lanceolate-shaped projectile point which characteristically has a groove, or flute, on each face parallel with the longitudinal axis of the artif act. This tool, as well as others of the Paleo-Indian Tradition, has frequently been found in association with large mammals such as bison, mammoth, or mastodon, particularly in the West.
Accordingly, Paleo-Indian groups have been characterized primarily as a big-game hunting tradition that is organized into small, tightly-knit, highly-mobile groups or bands .which exploit seasonal herds of big game. While evidence is accumulating that Paleo-Indian groups probably exploited biotic resources as well (Kauffman and Dent 1982), there can
, be no dispute that large terrestrial mammals formed an t
important part of their subsistence base. During the Paleo-Indiaa period, the climate was considerably colder than it is 9
now, and much of southeastern Pennsylvania and the New Jersey Coastal Plain was probably tundra or taiga. Large Pleistocene mammals, including the mastodon, woolly mammoth, caribou, elk, and, perhaps, the musk ox, coexisted with Paleo-Indians. Because the residual effects of the last glacial advance (the Wisconsin) were still in evidence at the time Paleo-Indian groups occupied the landscape, their l remains are often associated with glacial or periglacial features.
l Many isolated or disturbed fluted point discoveries have been I made in the Delaware River Valley, leading at least one early authority (Mason 1959) to speculate that the major river valleys, in particular the Delaware, were favored habitational loci for Paleo-Indian groups. All the fluted point finds in Chester and Montgomery Counties have been reported from surface contexts.
B. Archaic (c. s . o o o n.c. - c.1.c o o n.c.)
The Archaic Tradition witnessed the development of a new set of cultural-adaptive mcchanisms in response to changing environmental conditions. The gradual retreat of ice sheets and periglacial conditions prior to c.7,000 B.C. created a more diversified environmental regimen which increased regional carrying capacities of such resources as small game, j fish, shellfish, nuts, seeds, and other foodstuffs.
Accordingly, human groups began adapting their exploitative 10
l and subsistence strategies to these new and more abundant resources. No uniform culture type is to be found within the Archaic Tradition, for as various micro-habitats or biomes came to be exploited by various groups, differential cultural expressions began to emerge. Thus, Archaic manifestations in coastal environments became adapted to maritime conditions and resources, while those in upland environments became adapted to resources and conditions as they exist at higher altitudes and in dense forest.
The more diverse floral and f aunal resources brought on by the changing environment allowed for a more diverse pattern of exploitation and settlement by Archaic people. The band-territorial pattern begun in the Paleo-Indian period still continued, but it was less predicated on unrestricted wandering and more related to scheduling and seasonal rounds.
Subsistence activities were based on the local seasonal availability of foodstuffs, and settlement patterning reflected this seasonality. Fishing camps were occupied i primarily during the late spring and were located near known spawning areas. Nut-gathering and. hunting camps were primarily occupied during the autumn months when such resources were plentiful. Larger base camps were generally occupied year round with varying population density, depending on the season and the group activities at the time.
Because of perceived differences in artifact types and localized cultural expression, the Archaic period is
. 11
i sometimes further divided into three subperiods: the Early, Middle, and Late Archaic. Clear-cut chronological evidence for this division, however, is not yet available, and there is still considerable disagreement among archeologists regarding what cultural f actors are well enough defined to i support these divisions. Much of the confusion stems f rom the lack of precise stratigraphic and chronological ,
l definition at most Archaic sites so far. excavated in the Northeastern woodlands. Until such clear-cut stratigraphic 4
and chronological evidence becomes available, such divisions should be used with caution.
i C. Transitional (c.2.000 B.C. - c .1. 0 0 0 B.C. )
Chronologically overlapping with the Archaic Tradition is another cultural manifestation of the-Northeastern woodlands usually referred to as the Transitional but sometimes referred to as the Terminal Archaic. It is likely that _the cultural changes evident in this tradition came about, at least in part, in response to the warm and dry maximum noted above which occurred about 1,0 0 0 B.C. , or even perhaps'a little earlier. It was at this time that the oak-hickory-
-chestnut forest so prevalent today 'in the . Northeastern woodlands first became _ wholly dominant and this, in turn,-
allowed for even more plentiful and diverse floral-and faunal:
resources to become adapted to the environment. Accordingly,
- even greater regional _ carrying capacities became established,-
providing aboriginal inhabitants with-a wider choice of' 12 ..
subsistence strategies.
l Most archeologists believe Transitional peoples had a l
l mobility greatly increased over their Archaic predecessors, j l \
with this greater mcbility a result of the availability of l
canoe or dugout for travel. Certainly, there can be no doubt of a greater reliance on riverine resources during the Transitional period, for most sites are located along major waterways. Aside from their distinctive spearpoints, steatite cooking vessels, and an essentially riverine adaptation, Transitional peoples appear to have continued the general overall Archaic way of life begun nearly 6,000 years before. Band territoriality still appears to be the major form of social organization, although semi-permanent base camps of larger groups may have been present. A truly sedentary lifestyle, however, had not as yet been adopted.
D. Early-Hiddle Woodland ( c. l . 0 0 0 B.C. - c. A.D. 1000)
About 1,000 years before the advent of the Christian era, some profound changes in the lifeways of aboriginal populations in the Eastern woodlands began ta take place. At this time three important new themes not evident before were introduced into the indigenous cultural systems: the development of incipient horticulture, the development of village life, and the introduction of ceramics. While the development of horticulture (and ultimately agriculture) and more sedentary village life apper.rs to have come about quite slowly, the manuf acture and use of ceramics was quick to 13
f materialize and no doubt-initiated one of the first truly significant technological revolutions in North America.
4 i
In southeastern Pennsylvania the prevailing pattern of subsistence for Early-Middle Woodland groups appears to have been small family groups exploiting the major river bottoms and adjacent uplands. Few Early-Middle Woodland sites are known to be great distances from major riparian sources.
Most settlement probably consisted of only a few houses clustered in a limited area and, accordingly, probably did not represent true village organization as sites in the Ohio Valley do. Subsurface features at Early-Middle Woodland sites are not plentiful and for the most part consist of small, shallow, saucer-shaped pits or basins of uncertain function. Very few deep storage pits are known for sites of this time period. While incipient horticulture most certainly was beginning to emerge in western Pennsylvania and adjacent Ohio at this time, the relative lack of storage pits in the Northeast suggests a considerable time lag in its development in that region.
E. Late Woodland (c.A.D. 1000 - c. A.D. 1550)
By about the tenth millenium A.D., horticulture-had given way l
l to agriculture and permanent or at least semi-permanent l village living had become a way of life for the Northeastern
! woodland Indians. Archeologists refer to this time period as the Late Woodland. It is during this time that distinct 14
tribal influences can be recognized in the archeological record, and the Late Woodland in southeastern Pennsylvania is generally seen as representing the remains of the ancestral Delaware or Lenape Indians.
The climate during this time, as expected, was about the same as at present. The warming trend begun about 6,500 B.C. had generally continued unabated in the region, and regional carrying capacities had maintained a maximum density similar to those present in Transitional and Early-Middle Woodland times. While the basic composition of the oak-hickory-chestnut forest has doubtless changed little in the succeeding 600 years or so, much of the forest clearing today is the result of later agricultural practices by Europeans and was not evident when the ancestral Lenape were inhabiting I the region. Not all of the forest clearing can be attributed to Europeans, however, since there is a cor.siderable body of historic evidence which suggests the Indians.themselves cleared substantial tracts of land _in some areas prior to the advent of Europeans (Russell 1981).
The development of rudimentary agricultural technology was doubtless a significant factor contributing to.the more.
sedentary lifestyle of the Late Woodland Indians. In southeastern Pennsylvania, as'well as elsewhere in.the-Eastern woodlands, there is ample evidence that staple cultigens included maize, beans, pumpkins,, squash, and, 15
perhaps, sunflowers. Many of these staples were ground into meal with mullers, pestles, and milling stones and then stored in deep pits excavated into the ground. Although plant domestication was an important factor of life in Late Woodland times, there is no evid nce of widespread animal domestication except for the dog. The latter was apparently raised as a food source.
i In spite of a heavy reliance on agriculture during Late Woodland times, more traditional patterns of subsistence were not wholly superceded. Hunting, gathering, and fishing still provided major portions of the Indians' diet, as well as shellfish procurement. The bow and arrow, representing a significant technological advancement over the spear, was used for most hunting with small, triangular projectile points rather than stemmed or notched points tipping the arrows. Bola stones were apparently used in some aspects of hunting, perhaps for marsh birds or some species of small game, and fish were usually netted. Pottery styles were generally much more sophisticated and refined, and usually had simple everted lips or highly decorative collars.
4 F. ' Contact (c.A.D. 1550 - A. D. 1750) i The Contact period is the historically documented time when aboriginal populations in the Northeast came into contact with Europeans who were beginning to colonize the New World.
! It was a time of turbulence, mistrust, and violence, all' of which are typical by-products of situations where cultural 16 w ,-- + ,.n-.
_I n_ -

groups of widely dissimilar habits and customs come into forced contact. It was also a time when the indigenous Indian populations, by most accounts all to willing to i peacefully coexist with the Europeans, found themselves quickly acculturated into a new cultural system, one predicated on materialism, individual ownership, and, to some extent, greed. As such, the latter stages of the 200-year-span comprising the Contact period signaled the complete demise of the Indian way of life which began nearly 12,000 years before in the Northeastern woodlands.
1 The Indians indigenous to southeastern Pennsylvania at the time of European contact referred to themselves as the Lenape (the Real or Original People). Because of their association with the Delaware River (named af ter the English Lord De La Wa r r) , the Europeans began referring to them in their journals and documents as the Delawares. While some scholars continue to refer to them as the Delaware Indians, it is i probably more appropriate to refer to them with the original Lenape designation.
Most historical, ethnological, and ethnohistorical literature on the Lenape suggest that at the time of ' European contact they were loosely organized into three geo-political sub-groupings, including the Munsee in the upper Delaware Valley and northern New Jersey, the Unami in the middle Delaware Valley and central New Jersey, and the Unalachtigo in the 17
-- ~ . _ ,
lower Delaware ;clley and southern New Jersey. Recent research, however, has indicated that these designations bear little relationship to actual Lenape social and political organization at the time of contact. In f act, there was no comprehensive geo-political organization among the Lenape, but rather there existed a loose-knit clan system (including the Wolf, Turtle, and Turkey clans) which served as a unifying factor throughout the entire geographic region occupied by the Lenape.
That the Lenape were a relatively peaceful lot is attested to by the fact that no remains of defensive stockades have been found surrounding their villages in the Delaware Valley.
Most of the Lenape contemporaries to the north and west were fortifying their villages even before the coming of the Europeans. At least one scholar (Wallace 1948) believes the reason for the apparent pacifism of the Lenape is their subjugation by the Iroquois prior to the coming of the Europeans, at which time the Lenape were " forbidden" by the Iroquois to engage in warf are. In any event, hostilities between the Lenape and the Europeans seem to have been considerably less frequent than between the Iroquois and the Europeans.
By about 1660, the Lenape of the lower Delaware Valley had become almost totally acculturated into the European cultural system. Very little tribal integrity remained, and traditional habits, customs, and values were hardly i
18
dictinguishable (Wallace 1948). The Europeans had gradually
" purchased" most of the land from the Indians and were forcing them out of their traditional homeland. The so-called " Walking Purchase of 1737," involving a tract of land near Kintnersville, Pennsylvania, represented the last piece of land sold by the Lenape to the Europeans and effectively brought to a close the period of Indian-European contact in the Delaware Valley. Shortly thereafter, there were virtually no Lenape left in the area, most of them having i
been forcibly moved to reservations in Oklahoma and Canada. )
G. The Schuylkill Valley ( c.10. 0 0 0 B.C. - c. A.D. 1550)
The Schuylkill Valley was inhabited from Paleo-Indian I
( c.10,0 0 0 B.C.) through Late Woodland (c.A.D. 1550) times.
Collections of artifacts from the project area indicate that ,
l all the major cultural periods recognized for the Mid- l Atlantic region are represented. Evidence of the intensity of occupations varies greatly f rom period to period. This variation is due in part to incomplete survey data, since certain areas have been subjected to greater amocnts of survey than others, and also to the known or perceived subsistence / settlement patterns and aboriginal population i
density during a given cultural period.
i The Paleo-Indian and Early Archaic periods are well represented in the artifact assemblages of the Schuylkill Valley. Many artifacts ascribed to these early occupations 19
have been recovered f rom the surf ace of prehistoric sites located in the uplands as well as in the Schuylkill and Delaware River Valleys. The upland sites seem to represent transient hunting camps f rom which f aunal resources were procured, while larger sites, like the Shawnee-Minisink site located near the Delaware Water Gap, represent base camps from which a variety of resources were procured (McNett, m.t aL.1977). These early populations also seemed to have had strong preferences for high quality lithic materials with the majority of materials being jaspers and cherts.
The Middle and Late Archaic assemblages represented in the artifact collections from the project area are also substantial. The number of artifacts representing these cultural periods, particularly the Late Archaic and Transitional, tends to support our present understanding of the subsistence / settlement patterns for these periods.
Increased populations along with an increase in the importance of larger streams and rivers as settlement locations may explain the sudden increase in the numbers of artif acts representative of these cultural periods. Tools and projectile points from these time periods were manufactured primarily of materials from local sources, including quartz and quartzite.
The Woodland Period occupations of the Schuylkill Valley, although well represented in the artif act assemblages, are not as substantial as the Late Archaic representation.
20
r ,,2 2
s subsistence / settlement patterns for the Woodland period tend to indicate increased reliance upon the major river valleys.
This shift is accompanied by a more sedentary lifestyle, a greater reliance on grown foodstuffs, and a concomitant decrease in the importance of hunted and gathered resources such as those available in upland areas. The ethnographic l evidence tends to support the increased sedentism, though ..
l hunting and gathering still played a major role in the subsistence / settlement strategies employed by the aboriginal populations.
Three Indian paths are documented within the project area s
including French Creek Path which runs from Conestoga at the mouth of French Creek to the Schuylkill River near Phoenixville, the Perkiomen Path, which parallels the Schuylkill hiver from Philadelphia to Reading, and the Perkiomen-Lehigh Path, which runs f rom Oaks to Vera Cruz, Pennsylvania (Wallace 1971:57, 127-128). Several other areas of Indian occupation have also been recorded for the project area by Gilkyson (1945), who accumulated data from sites along the Schuylkill River from Norristown to Pottstown.
Four eighteenth-century Indian villages were also documented along the Schuylkill River. The first of these was located southeast of the project area in Phoenixville, Chester County. Although the name of the village and when it was .-
inhabited are not known, the area is believed to have been a Lenape (Delaware) village (Kent, et aL., 1981:148). The s
21
\
I village of Manatawny, translated as "where we drank liquor" (Donohoo 1977:104), was located north of the project area in Montgomery County near present day Pottstown and was inhabited from 1707 until 1730 (Kent, et al. 1981). The village of Manangy's Town was also located north of the project area in Berks County near the present site of Reading (Kent, at al.,19 81:) . The only other village documented on the Schuylkill River was called Ontelaunee, or Maiden Creek, "which tradition tells was the name by which the Indians called the Schuylkill River" (Donohoo 1977:137). This village is thought to have been located north of Tuckertown in Berks County, Pennsylvania, well north of the project area (Kent, et aL., 19 81:) .
H. liQtorical Summary of the Schuylkill Valleir The Schuylkill Valley was visited by the Dutch, Swedes, and English during tho seventeenth century, but little permanent settlement took place until the land was granted to William Penn in 1681. Under Penn the area was surveyed and vast tracts of land were sold to immigrant farmers and to land speculators. The valley was intensively f armed during the eighteenth century, resulting in soil depletion and decreased crop yields. Progressive farmers reversed this trend toward the end of the seventeenth century by practicing crop rotation, manuring, and planting clover. The Revolutionary War had a transitory impact on the area with a six-month long encampment at Valley Forge and other camps for shorter periods.
22
Large-scale industrial development commenced early in the nineteenth century, stimulated by the exploitation of coal and the construction of the Schuylkill Canal, which offered i transportation improvements and water power for industry.
The railroad further stimula ed industrialization, and by the mid-nineteenth century the small riverside market towns which had characterized the Schuylkill Valley throughout the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were transformed into manufacturing towns with ironworking and textile production forming the dominant industries. Industrial development has continued to the present day with some diversification into other areas such as plastics and computers. Agriculture still plays a major role in the economy of the area, however, and the scenery of the Schuylkill Valley offers a varied mix of industrial and rural landscapes.

IV. RESEARCH NETHODS A. Introduction The goals of the project, including the location of prehistoric archeological resources within the project area and evaluations of their significance, were accomplished through implementation of a multi-staged research program.
The first stage of the research program involved reviewing existing data and synthesizing it into the envis.onmental and cultural overviews presented in the previous sections of the report. The second stage consisted of a 100 percent field survey of the entire right-of-way employing both surface and subsurface testing procedures. The final stage in the research program involved the description and presentation of the data generated during the course of the survey. The stages of research and methods of data recovery are discussed belcw.
s B. Existina Data Review The existing data review consisted of an examination of past archeological surveys conducted in the project area, including Holzinger and Humphreville (1972), Struthers and Hof f man (1982), and Gilkyson (1945). It also consisted of a review of current and historic maps. The Pennsylvania Archeological Site Survey (PASS) files, which are maintained at the PHMC in Harrisburg, were consulted for~ site locations.
These were plotted onto a USGS 7.5 minute topographic map along with construction rights-of-way.. The review was 24
conducted prior to the initiation of fieldwork to facilitate the execution of the field survey.as well as to elicit information on all the recorded prehistoric and historic sites in the project area. A secondary purpose was to provide the survey team with an overview which would yield data pertinent to the project area and allow the formulation of an appropriate survey strategy.
C. Informant Interviewg Local residents and owners of artifact collections from sites I in the project area were interviewed regarding the ,
l archeological resources in the region. Some of these individuals were located through the previous research cited above, some were encountered during the course of the field survey, and some were contacted through the Schuylkill Valley Chapter of the Society for Pennsylvania Archeology.
Local residents were asked if they knew of archeological sites and/or artifact collections in the area. When contacted by the researchers, collectors were often able-to..
provide references to other informants. The survey team-attempted to interview every collector. reported from any Of the sources listed above. Artifact collections from the region were examined, ' inventoried, and photographed.
D. Phase I Surface Testina Phase I surface testing consisted of a pedestrian survey'of 25:
>~
the construction rights-of-way. Surface survey was conducted in those areas where surface visibility was adequate for i purposes of archeological resource discovery and assessment (Plate 1). Survey outside of the right-of-way was conducted when sites were thought to extend beyond the limits of the right-of-way and when previously documented sites were in close proximity to rights-of-way.
The survey area was divided into linear transects parallel to j
the right-of-way, and each member of the survey team was assigned a transect. The survey team then walked over the i area with approximately ten- feet of spacing between each a
member. Each team member was responsible for approximately five feet on either side of his or her path. Usually, the survey team walked not more than one-half mile in a northerly
- or southerly direction. After having reached a pre-set point, all members of the survey team began a return survey parallel and adjacent to the first. swath. The distance
- surveyed varied each day due to the number of sites located and the percentage of ground - visibility within and adjacent -
i to the right-of-way.. The survey intensified as site density increased or ground visibility lessened.
, Upon discovery ~of an' artifact, the team focused on the potential site area. Artifact' collections were. based on complete collection or - selective (biased) sampling =(Hester, Heizer, and Graham 1975:20-21).. Selective ~or: biased .

1 in order to help determine the spatial and temporal context !
of the cultural materials, was used to collect sites where complete collection strategy was impractical. The collection
- areas were each identified by a locus number and artif acts l
l from each locus were bagged separately and were identified with a corresponding locus number. As loci were found, they were plotted onto base maps. Loci boundar ies were determined based on artifact presence and absence. An archeological
.:ite was defined as a location from which three or more prehistoric artifacts were recovered within less than 50 feet of one another. Phase I loci not meeting established site criteria were labeled as field scatters, and single artifacts were termed isolated find spots.
Field conditions were recorded in terms of ground visibility (zero to 20 percent = poor, 20 to 40 percent = f air, 40 to 60 percent = good, 60 to 80 percent = very good, and 80 to 100 percent =
excellent). Pennsylvania Archaeological Site Survey forms were completed for each site. Exact site locations were recorded by township and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. Other information including environmental factors, artifacts, artifact density, and features were also recorded.
E. Phase I Subsurface Testing All subsurface tests excavated during the Phase I survey consisted of square test units measuring two feet on a side.
Test units were located in the field using easily- l l
27 l
identifiable landmarks. These units were all excavated into culturally sterile soil horizons by natural levels of soil deposition. The levels were numbered consecutively from top to bottom as they were encountered. Soil levels were differentiated primarily on the basis of color, using a Munsell Chart, although differences in soil texture and composition were also noted on test logs. All excavated soil matrices were passed through one-quarter inch mesh hardware cloth, and all recovered artifacts were bagged according to provenience. Soil profiles for each subsurf ace excavation unit were recorded and an accurate photographic record of the survey area in general, and pertinent features in particular, was maintained.
F. Phi lLse II Surface Testing This level of testing was conducted in areas identified as sites when it was thought that additional data were needed to adequately assess site significance and boundaries. Each site which qualified for Phase II work was surface collected again. During Phase II, sites were collected by quadrant units (northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest) or by field numbers. Although some sites were almost completely l collected during Phase I survey, it was not unusual for rain l
and plowing to have uncovered new artifacts ~in the time elapsed between Phase I and II survey. Artifact concentrations were plotted onto base maps.
28
G. Phase II Subsurface Testing Subsurf ace tests consisted of the excavation of test units ranging f rom two feet on a side to five feet on a side (Plate 2). Phase II test units were excavated in those areas where previous surface collections had indicated high artifact densities and in areas where the topography indicated the possibility of f eatures or other types of in situ deposits.
Phase II test units were mapped on base maps. Test Unit locations were measured in the field using whatever easily identifiable landmarks were at hand.
A different Phase II testing program was designed in cooperation with the PHMC for one area which was to be impacted by the construction of access roads and structure footings and where field conditions restricted test unit excavacion. The program utilized the " stripping" excavation as definad by Hester, .et al. (1975), which involves staking out the area and conducting a controlled surace collection in the primary areas of potential impact. A tracked gradall with a bucket four feet wide was then used to remove all but one to two inches of the plowzone level. The backfill f rom i the stripping operation was placed off to the sides so that it could be easily replaced after the structure construction.
All stripped areas were then flat shoveled and troweled to locate in situ deposits and features.
H. Laboratory Procedures All artifacts recovered.during the course of the survey were l
l 29 ,
i l
cleaned, inventoried, and classified by type, material, and, when possible, by function and/or cultural affiliation. Much of the artifact processing was accomplished on days when inclement weather prevented field survey or excavation.
Historic artif acts were grouped by type, and ceramics were described on the basis of paste, and decoration. Prehistoric artifacts were analyzed using frequencies and percentages for the assemblage as a whole, for artifacts from individual sites, and for artifact categories. Tool forms were analyzed on the basis of morphology, and functional assignations were given when possible.
Additional tasks performed as part of the laboratory procedures involved mapping, completion of site forms, and photography of all diagnostic artifacts.

V. SURVEY RESULTS The following is a structure-by-structure discussion of the survey results beginning at the northernmost portion of the right-of-way in Montgomery County and ending at the Cromby Generating Station north of Phoenixville in Chester County.
The survey results were structured in this manner to facilitate client review and agency licensing.
A. Structures 1/l". 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 (Figure 2)
These four structure footing locations are situated on the westerly side of the existing Reading Railroad right-of-way.
The floodplain which lies west of and adjacent to the right-of-way was examined and tested by Holzinger and Humphreville (1972). They concluded that this section of floodplain was unlikely to have contained aboriginal occupations.
Geological evidence indicates that a high river level would have made this section of floodplains too marshy for 1
. habitation (Holzinger and Humphreville 1972:5). No cultural i
materials were recovered from east of the right-of-way. The-P westerly side _of the right-of-way is a steep _ slope which rises abruptly to 150 feet asl. No testing was conducted at these structure footing locations.
J B. Structures 1/5. 1/6, 1/7, and 1/8 (Site 36 Mc 37)
(Figure 2)
Locatad within the railroad right-of-way, these four
- structures are situated 30 feet above a large expanse of 1
31-
floodplain located to the west of the footing locations.
Located on this floodplain is a previously recorded prehistoric site, 36 MG 37, which was recorded on the PASS form as a Late Woodland site. At the time of survey, the site was recently plowed L.u t not planted, with ground visibility in the 80 to 100 percent range. The site was subjected to Phase I surf ace survey which resulted in the 4 1
recovery of four artifacts of historic derivation and 64 I
artifacts of prehistoric derivation, including debitage, flaked tools, and fire-cracked rock. No diagnostic projectile points were recovered nor was cultural material recovered within 25 feet of the right-of-way. Visual inspection of the area revealed that the right-of-way had been built up above the floodplain. No further testing was conducted at these structure locations.
C. Structures 2/1, 2/2, 2/3, 2/4, 2/5, 2/6, 2/7, and 2/8 (Figure 2)
Located within the existing railroad right-of-way, these
- eight structure footings are situated on the westerly side of the right-of-way. This segment of the right-of-way contains
! three parallel sets of railroad tracks and has been built up approximately 20 feet above original grade. Visual inspection also revealed that the' areas adjacent to the right-of-way have been severely altered through development.
i All fields to both the easterly and westerly sides of the right-of-way were subjected to Phase I surface testing. No artifacts were recovered and no further testing was-conducted 32
in this area.
D. Structure 2/9 (Site 36 MG 138) (Figure 2)
Located within the existing railroad right-of-way, this structure is situated approximately 20 feet above grade. The area to the easterly side of the right-of-way has been severely disturbed by development. The westerly side of the right-of-way is bounded by Site 36 CH 138 which was subjected to a Phase I surface survey. Surface visibility at the time of survey was in the 60 to 80 percent range. Thirty-three prehistoric artifacts were recovered from the surface, including debitage, one biface fragment, one utilized flake, one hammerstone, and fire-cracked rock. No diagnostic artifacts were recovered, and no cultural affiliation could be assigned to the site. Accordingly, no artifacts were recovered f rom within 15 feet of the existing right-of-way or l
structure location, and through visual inspection, it was evident that severe disturbance has occurred in the area of the location. Since it was determined the site does not extend into the right-of-way, no further testing was conducted at this structure footing location. j E. Structure 3/1 (site 36 MG 1) (Figure 2)
Located within the existing railroad right-of-way, this structure is situated approximately 20 ft- ; above grade (Plate 3). The area to the easterly side of the right-of-way has been severely disturbed by development. 'The westerly side of the right-of-way is bounded by a cultivated field 33
4 i-I :which contains Site 36 MG 1, a previously recorded Late Woodland site located on the Schuylkill River floodplain.
j This site was partially excavated by the Schuylkill Valley Chapter of the Society for Pennsylvania Archaeology in 1971; however, the results of that work have not yet been reported.
- At the time of survey, the site was plowed and surface 4
visibility was in the 80 to 100 percent range. Ten historic artifacts and 56 artifacts of prehistoric derivation, 2
including debitage, flaked tools, one hammerstone, one grinding stone, and fire-cracked rock, were recovered. No artifacts were recovered within 20 feet of the right-of-way, j indicating that the site does not extend into the right-of-
! way. No further testing was conducted at this site. '

G. Structures 3/3. 3/4. 3/5. 3/6. 3/7. 3/8. and 4/1 (Figure 2)
These seven structure footing locations are situated in a j segment of right-of-way which has been severely disturbed by construction of the railroad. Cross sections of bedrock, rising to 200 feet above sea level, parallel the right-of-way on the easterly side of the railroad tracks. This cross section indicates that a large amount of rock and soil have been removed and have severely altered the original topography. The westerly side of the right-of-way descends approximately 20 feet to the banks of the Schuylkill River.
No further testing was conducted at these structure footing locations.
H. Structures 4/2. 4/3. 4/4. 4/5. 4/6. 5/1. and 5/2 (Sites 36 MG 15 and 36 MG 39) (Figure 2)
These seven structure footing locations are situated on the westerly side of the existing Reading Railroad right-of-way.
The right-of-way is situated approximately 20 feet above the adjacent floodplain which was surface collected. The banks of small ephemeral streams along the floodplain were inspected; however, no artifacts were recovered. The easterly side of the right-of-way is sloped and rises approximately 30 feet above the right-of-way. The top of the hill was surface collected. Although surface visibility was in the zero to 20 percent range, two previously recorded sites, 36 MG 15 and 36 MG 39, were located (Plate 4). Site 36 MG 15 produced two prehistoric artif acts, including one waste flake and one biface fragment. Site 36 MG 39 produced 35
nine prehistoric artifacts, including five waste flakes and four fragments of shatter. Due to the lack of diagnostic artifacts, no cultural affiliations could be assigned to these two sites. Visual inspection of this segment of right-of-way revealed that the railroad was constructed into the side of a steeply sloping hill 30 feet below Sites 36 MG 15 and 39.
I. Structures 5/3, 5/4, S/5, S/6, S/7, E/8, 5/9. 6/1, and St/_1 (Figures 2 and 3)
These ten structure footing locations are all located in a segment of right-of-w ay w hich has bean severely disturbed by construction of the railroad. Both the easterly and westerly sides of the right-of-way have been severely disturbed by development and construction of light industrial complexes which parallel the right-of-way through Royersford.
No further testing was conducted in this area.
J. Structures 6/4, 6/5, and 6/6 (Figure 3)
These three structure footing locations are situated on the easterly side of the right-of-way where there is a steep rise of 30 feet to 2nd Avenue in Royersford. The westerly side of I
the right-of-way is built up approximately 30 feet above the 1
i floodplain. , Visual inspection of the area revealed that the terrain had been altered during construction of both the railroad and 2nd Avenue. No further testing was conducted in this area.

K. Structure 6/7 (Site 36 MG 163) (Figure 3)
This structure footing is located on the easterly side of the existing right-of-way. Documentation at the PHMC alludes to the former existence of a Susquehannock Indian village located near the mouth of Mingo Creek .hich intersects the right-of-way just south of the structure location. Although
! the right-of-way is built up approximately 20 feet above the floodplain, 15 Phase I test units were placed near the mouth 7 i
' of the creek on the westerly side of the railroad tracks. ,
This was done in order to determine whether the village was
! in close proximity to the right-of-way. This area was
! designated Site 36 MG 163.
Nine test units were placed north of Mingo Creek. Four of these test units produced prehistoric artifacts. Level 1 in j Unit 4 (Figure 4), located 100 feet north of the creek and-70 feet west of the railroad embankment (Figure 3), consisted of
}
l five inches of dark reddish-brown sandy clay (5 YR 3/2) followed by Level 2, 19 inches of mottled yellowish-red'and dark reddish-brown silty clay (5 YR 4/6 and 5 YR 3/2) which
, produced one f ragment of shatter. This was underlain by.15 i
i inches of dark reddish-brown very hard packed silty clay (5

Level j 2 consisted of 11 inches of reddish-brown silty clay (5 YR 4/4), and was underlain by eight inches of yellowish-reri silty clay (5 YR 4/6) (Figure 4). No artifacts were j recovered from these levels.
i Unit 6, located 200 feet north of the creek and 70 feet from the railroad embankment (Figure 3), began with of 10 inches i
! of dark reddish-brown sandy clay (5 YR 3/2), which produced i one flake. Level 2, 17 inches of mottled dark reddish-brown i
sandy clay' (5 YR 3/4) and Level 3, three inches of yellowish-1
- red silty clay (5 YR 4/6), produced no artifacts (Figure 4).
i j The fourth unit which produced prehistoric artifects was Unit i 15, located 350 feet north of the creek (Figure 3). The soil
! profile revealed nine inches of dark reddish-brown sandy l
- silty clay (5 YR 3/2), which produced one- flake. This was i
i- underlain by nine inches of dark reddish-brown sandy silty i
clay with a stronger chroma (5= YR 3/4) and three inches of strong brown cilty_ clay (7.5 YR 5/6) -(Figure. 4) . No i
artifacts were recovered from these two levels, and water was encountered at six inches below surface. A total of 19 4
historic artifacts and six prehistoric artifacts were recovered from north of Mingo Creek. The five remaining test
- units produced similar profiles; however, they were found .to i
be devoid of prehistoric material..
i 38
Six, test units were placed south of Mingo Creek and west of the railroad embankment. These test units revealed soil I
profiles which varied greatly from those units north of the i creek.
l Unit 8, located 10 feet south of the creek and 20 f eet west
{ of the railroad embankment (Figure 3), revealed four inches of yellowish-red mottled sandy clay (5. YR 4/6), which produced 11 historic artif acts. Level 2 consisted of seven inches of culm (5 YR 2.5/1) with very large rocks of shale lI and schist (10 YR 2.5/1). This level was underlain by nine inches of dark reddish-brown sandy silty clay (5 YR 3/2),
four inches of reddish-brown silty clay (5 YR 4/4), and five i inches of yellowish-red sandy clay (5 YR 4/6) (Figure 5). No-artifacts were recovered from these levels.

i A test unit was also placed at structure footing location 6/7 on the east side of the right-of-way. The soil profile
! (Figure 6) revealed eight inches of dark red sandy silty clay mixed with shale and' rubble (2.5 YR 3/6), followed by 16 l
inches of dark reddish-brown silty sandy clay with shale and j rubble (5 YR 3/4) which produced 12 historic artifacts. This j was underlain by 13 inches of culm (10 YR 2/1) which produced six historic artifacts. Level 4 consisted of six inches of yellowish-red silty clay -(5 YR 4/6), f ollowed by ' Level 5, l
l nine and one-half inches of strong brown silty sandy clay I . ,.
(7.5 YR 5/6), and . Level 6,11 inches of dark' red fine silty
! sandy clay with some rock (2.5 YR 3/6). ' Very compact rock l
was encountered at 63 inches below-surface. No prehistoric l artifacts were recovered from the test; unit and, according1y, _
i it was determined that Site 36 MG 163 did not extend into the.
structure footing location.

L. Structure 7/1 (Site 36 MG 139) (Figure 3)
This structure footing is situated on the east side of the existing railroad right-of-way at the base of a 10 foot railroad embankment. To the east of the structure-footing location is Site 36 MG 139, a site which has been destroyed
{
by the construction of a pond. Large mounds of topsoil were L j examined and resulted in the recovery of 21 historic artifacts, including red and white earthenware, vitreous china, and f ragments of glass. A total of 144 prehistoric i
- artifacts was also recovered, which included debitage, flaked tools, non-flaked tools, and fire-cracked rock. A test unit was placed at the structure footing location to determine if the site extended into the right-of-way. The profile (Figure i 6, Plate 5) revealed 18 inches of culm (10 YR 2/1), followed by Level 2, nine inches of dark yellowish-brown clay with
! coarse grained sand (10 YR 4/4). This was underlain by 16
) inches of yellowish-brown slightly silty clay (10 YR 5/6) and
! two inches of yellowish-brown slightly silty clay ~ with red clay mottling (10 YR 5/6). Water was encountered at 36
)
inches below surf ace and no artif acts were recovered f rom this unit. Excavation of this unit revealed that 36 MG 139 4
did not extend into the right-of-way.

4 444 prehistoric artifacts, including 32 flaked tools, 385 artifacts classified as debitage, five classified as non-flaked tools, 21 classified as fire-cracked rocks, and one cobble fragment. Of these 444 artifacts, 10 were diagnostic artifacts, including three Poplar Island projectile points (c.f., Ritchie 1971:44), and one Bare Island-like projectile point (c.f., Ritchie 1971:14) of Late Archaic derivation (c.3,0 0 0 B.C. - c .1,0 0 0 B.C. ) . One Contracting Stem Broadspear of Transitional derivation, one Jack's Reef Corner-notched (c.f., Ritchie 1971:26) of Middle Woodland derivation (c.A.D. 1000), and four Madison projectile points (c.f., Ritchie 1971:33) of Late Woodland derivation (c.A.D.
i 1000 -
c.A.D. 1500) were also recovered from the surface (Plate 11).
A test unit was placed at the structure footing location to determine if the site extended into the right-of-way (Figure 7, Plate 6). The top of the profile revealed 12 inches of culm (10 YR 2/1) which produced four' historic artifacts.
Level 2 consisted of 17 inches of reddish-brown silty clay (5 i
j YR 4/4) which produced two historic artifacts. Water was encountered 12 inches below surface. No prehistoric l
artifacts were recovered from this test unit, indicating that Site 36 MG 140 does not extend into the right-of-way. No further testing was conducted at this structure location.

N. Structure 7/3 (Figure 3)
This structure footing is situated on the easterly side of the right-of-way at the base of a ten-foot slope. A test unit was placed at the footing location to determine if it contained archeological resources. The profile (Figure 7, Plate 7) revealed two to eight inches of culm (10 YR 2/1) at the top underlain by 14 inches of reddish-brown clay with coarse grained sand and variegated lenses of sand (5 YR 4/4).
A large piece of charred wood was encountered at this level and extended through Level 3, seven inches of reddiah-brown slightly silty clay (5 YR 4/4), and into Level 4,12 inches of dark reddish-brown slightly sandy silty clay (5 YR 3/4).
Level 3 produced 30 historic artifacts, including red earthenware, stoneware, and f ragments of glass. One fragment of shatter was also recovered from this level. Level 4 produced two historic artifacts and one flake. Level 5 consisted of 20 inches of dark reddish-brown sandy clay - (5 YR 3/4), and Level 6 consisted of 16 inches of strong brown l
compact silty clay (7.5 YR 5/6). No artifacts were. recovered from these levels. The mixture of prehistoric and historic artif acts in levels 3 and 4 indicate severe disturbance and the absence of .in situ materials. Because of this, no further testing was conducted at this structure 1ccation.
1 O. Structure 7/4 (site 36 Mc 141) (Figure 3)
This proposed structure footing is situated east of the
. railroad right-of-way on sloping land which has been utilized as -a service road. A 50-foot slope .and exposed sections of 43 i
L
bedrock indicate tne railroad was cut into a steep slope. No
- further testing was conducted at the structure footing location since visual inspection revealed severe disturbance.
Fif ty-two prehistoric artifacts were recovered from a mound of graded topsoil which was situated north of the footing location. These artifacts were classified as flaked tools, debitage, and non-flaked tools. Two Transitional (c.2,000 -
B.C. - c.1,0 0 0 B.C.) projectile points were also recovered, including a Broadspear (c.f., Ritchie 1971:42 and 53) and an Orient Fishtail projectile point (c.f., Ritchie 1971:39)
(Plate 12). In all likelihood, these artifacts are from the area which shows signs of being graded. This area was.
designated Site 36 MG 141 and was found to be severely disturbed and therefore not significant. .
I P. Structure 7/5 (Site 36__MG 134) (Figures 3 and 8)
' This proposed structure footing was located in a section of right-of-way located approximately 300 feet east of the Reading Railroad and 600 feet west of Second Avenue near-the Cromby Generating Station (Figure 8). The proposed footing is located in an open field 100 feet east of an existing i farm lane. Phase.I surface survey.was conducted east of=the=
right-of-way in order to locate a previously reported prehistoric archeological site, 36 MG 134, mapped as being immediately east of the power line right-of-way. The surface collection was conducted through wheat stubble with surface 44
i visibility in.the zero to 20 percent range. This surface l
l collection resulted in the recovery of 45 artifacts of l
prehistoric derivation comprised of debitage and a single diagnostic projectile point, a chert bifurcate (c.f.,
l Ritchie 1971:115) of Early Archaic derivation (c.8,000 B.C.
to c.6,00 0 B.C.) (Plate 13).- All the artif acts recovered in the course of Phase I surface collection were recovered from the highest portion of the site adjacent to Second Avenue (Figure 8). No artifacts were recovered in the right-of-way.
Although the Phase I survey results indicated that 36 MG 134 does not extend into the transmission line right-of-way, poor visibility at the time of survey made these results suspect.
At the request of PECo, a Phase II survey was conducted at 36 MG 134 in order to confirm the Phase I results.
Phase II survey consisted of surface collection and the excavation of nine test units near the proposed structure I
footing. The surface collection resulted in the recovery of i
108 artifacts of prehistoric derivation including debitage, bifacial and unifacial tools, including a diagnostic ,
projectile point typed as a Broadspear of Transitional derivation (c.2,000 B.C. to c.1,0 0 0 B.C.) (Plate 13) . Only three of the artif acts recovered in the course of Phase II surface collection were recovered in the PEco right-of way.
These three artifacts included two quartz flakes and one jasper flake.
45
Test unit excavations at Structure 7/5 resulted in the recovery of two prehistoric artifacts. The first of these was a quartz flake recovered from the plowzone level of test Unit 1 and the second was also a quartz flake recovered from the plowzone level of Test Unit 4. The only other artifacts recovered in the course of test unit excavations consisted of a modern glass bead recovered from the plowzone of Test Unit 2.
The soil profiles recorded for Units 1 through 9 were identical. As represented by the profile recorded for Test Unit 1 (Figure 10), the plowzone consisted of a shaley silty loam six to nine inches thick (7.5 YR 4/4), underlain by a level of silty clay and bedded shale (5 YR 4/6).
Phase II testing conducted at 36 MG 134 indicates that the site does not extend into the right-of-way. The five prehistoric artifacts recovered within the right-of-way appear to have been moved from the site, located east of the right-of-way, by erosion due to natural processes and agricultural activities. Test unit excavation indicated that the proposed structure footing is located on a five to eight percent slope which has been severely eroded and no significant cultural materials or in situ deposits are located in the immediate vicinity of the-footing.
o 46
Q. Structures 7/6, 7/7, 8/1, 8/2, and 8/3 (Site 36 MG 162)
(Figures 3 and 9)
These five proposed structure footings are located on a bluff overlooking the Schuylkill River northeast of the Cromby Generating Station (Figure 9, Plate 8). Phase I surface survey conducted in the section of right-of-way containing these proposed structure locations resulted in the identification of a large prehistoric site subsequently designated as 36 MG 162 by the Section of Archeology of the Bureau for Historic Preservation. The surface collection resulted in the recovery of 22 prehistoric artifacts consisting entirely of debitage. Surface visibility at the time of survey was in the zero to 20 percent range. Ground cover consisted of corn stubble and soybean chaff f rom the previous year's crops. The poor visibility encountered in the course of Phase I survey made additional survey necessary. Phase II survey, which normally would have consisted of surf ace collection and the excavation of test units, was complicated by the use of untreated sewage as agricultural fertilizer. It was determined that test unit excavation was not practical given the potential health hazards posed by the presence of untreated wastes, i
Consultations between PHMC and PECo led to an agreement which stipulated that Phase II testing would consist of surface collection and subsurface testing accomplished with the aid j of machinery (Plate 9).
Phase II testing at Site 36 MG 162 consisted of a controlled 47
surface collection conducted after the site was plowed, disked, and sufficient time had elapsed for rain to expose artifacts and dissipate much of the surficial waste material.
The site was subdivided into 11 collection areas (Figure 9),
and all artifacts observed within the collection areas were recovered and provenienced to the area. The controlled surface collection resulted in the recovery of 526 prehistoric artifacts consisting of debitage, bifacial and unifacial tools, non-flaked tools, and seven diagnostic projectile points.
Four hundred ninety-one of the artifacts, including six of the diagr.:stic projectile points, were recovered from Areas 1 through 5 which comprise the level portion of the site, while the remaining 35 artifacts were recovered from Areas 6 through 11 which are located on a gentle slope in the three to five percent range. The heaviest concentrations of.
artif acts were encountered in Sections 2, 4, and 5, which also correspond to the highest portions of the site.
The diagnostic projectile points recovered in the course of surf ace collection came f rom Areas 3, 4, 5, and 11. Area 3 produced an argillite point typed as an Orient Fishtail (c.f., Ritchie 1971:39) of Transitional der.ivation (c.2,000 B.C. to c.1,0 0 0 . B.C. ) (Plate 14). Area 4 produced.two diagnostic points consisting of a quartsite Bare Island point (c.f. Ritchie 1971:14) of Late Archaic -derivation (c.3,000 B.C. to c.1,0 0 0 B.C.) and a jasper triangle typed'as a-48
l l
Levanna (c.f. Ritchie 1971:31) of Late Woodland derivation (c. A.D.100 0 to A.D.1550) (Plate 14). Area 5 produced three diagnostic points which include one quartz and one quartzite Bare Island point (c.f., Ritchie 1971:14) of Late Archaic derivation (c.3,0 0 0 B.C. to c.1,000 B.C.) and one jasper bifurcate (c.f., Ritchie 1971:115) of Early Archiac derivation (c.8,000 B.C. to c.6,00 0 B.C.) (Plate 14). Area 11 produced a quartz triangle typed as a Madison (c.f.,
Ritchie 1971:33) of Late Woodland derivation (c.A.D.1000 to i A.D. 1550) (Plate 14).
The lithic materials represented in the assemblage of i debitage consist mostly of quartz (68 percent), jasper (13 percent), quartzite (10 percent), and lesser amounts of chert, argillite, rhyolite, and other materials (Table 1).
Quartz is the dominant material in all but one of the collection areas, Area 8. The percentages obtained for Arets 1 through 5 are based on a relatively large sample and are possibly representative of the true lithic material distribution and frequency across the site. The percentages obtained for Areas 7 through 11, though still indicating a preponderance of quartz, jasper, and quartzite, appear to be skewed as a result of small sample size.
Lithic preferences as they relate to the tools within the artifact assemblage (Table 2), though indicating an overall preponderance of quartz, indicate a preference for higher 49
f l
I quality lithic materials such as jasper, quartzite, and l chert. The high percentage of quartz tools is probably a reflection of the local availability of quartz as opposed to
- l. a conscious preference for the material. This is
- particularly evident when tool types are examined. A high i
j percentage of the quartz tools are crude bifacial and unifacial flake tools, while the majority of the diagnostic 4
i '
. projectile points and the tool forms with clearly definable I
I j morphological and/or functional attributes appear to be made of materials other than quartz.
i Phase II subsurf ace testing at Site 36 MG 162 consisted of i the excavation of seven test units at Structure.7/6 in Area 9 i
{ (Figure 9) and the stripping of the plowzone from the j remaining structure locations and associated access roads.
Plowzone removal was accomplished with the aid of a flat bucket grada11 which removed all but one to twoinches of '
{
topsoil. The remaining plowzone was shoveled of f, and the j subsoil was troweled in order the locate features (Figure 9, Plate 10).
~
All test units excavated at Structure 7/6 indicated the presence of a shallow topsoil six to nine inches - deep j consisting of silty loam containing shale (7.5 YR 4/4),
4 underlain by silty clay and bedded. shale (7.5 YR 5/6).
Bedrock was encountered 'in all test units at depths ranging from ten to 14 inches. The only artifacts recovered from the l test units consisted of one jasper flake and one quartzite 50
- ~ _ _ _ - . _-
flake recovered from the plowzone level of Unit.3 and a fragment of bottle glass recovered from the plowzone level of Unit 7 (Figure 10). The profiles recorded for the test units l are indicative of erosional processes.
Subsurface investigations at the remaining proposed structure f locations and access roads consisted of the cleaning of areas previously stripped of the plowzone level with hand j excavation tools. A total of 46,000 square feet was examined
- in this manner. The only features of cultural derivation encountered in the course of subsoil examination consisted of a row of five historic postholes located in the vicinity of Structure 8/3. The remaining features were all shallow non- -
I cultural stains resulting from animal disturbance, tree molds, and land clearing activities relating.to agriculture.
i i
! It is probable that Site 36 MG 162 represents a succession of i
transient occupations geared towards the procurement of a limited range of resources which did not necessitate the
- excavation of pit features. The activities carried out at i
l the site wou1d have been limited to the manufacture of
) procurement and processing tools, refurbishing of these tools, and the procurement of hunted foodstuffs.
l 1
l Although extensive, careful, and consistent archeological testing was conducted on Site 36 MG 162, no in situ prehistoric archeological materials were recovered from the 51-
site. An explanation for the lack of in situ deposits relates to the geology of the site. It is located in an upland area unaffected by fluvial processes. Soil development at the site has been the product of weathering processes such as freeze / thaw and erosion and also the product of composting of decayed vegetation resulting in shallow accumulations of soil above the shale bedrock. The l shallowness of the soils at Site 36 MG 162 would therefore l have precluded the presence of deep pit features or I l
stratified deposits. Shallow features would have been 1
^
destroyed by modern plowing of the site. It was determined through extensive testing that Site 36 MG 162 contains no significant cultural materials or in situ deposits.
R. Structure 8/4 (Figure 3)
This structure footing is located within the boundaries of the Cromby Generating Station in Chester County. Visual l inspection revealed that the area had been severely disturbed 1 by flooding of the Schuylkill River and by grading and construction of the substation. For this reason, no intensive survey was undertaken at this location.

VI. SUINIARY ABS CONCLUSIONS The field survey of the 220-60 Transmission Line covered 7.4 linear . miles of right-of-way including 58 support structure locations. Eleven archeological sites were considered during the investigation. Seven sites, 36 MG 1, 37,138,139,140, 141, and 163, are located in floodplain settings. Sites located in upland settings include 36 MG 15, 39, 134, and 162. Sites 36 MG 138, 139, and 163, located on the floodplain, did not yield any diagnostic artifacts and therefore no cultural assignations could be made. Late Archaic, Transitional, and Woodland components are evidenced at Site 36 MG 140 while sites 36 MG 1, 37, and 141 represent single component sites of the Woodland, Late Archaic, and Transitional cultural periods, respectively. Of those sites located in upland settings, Site 36 MG 39 did not yield any
~
diagnostic artif acts and no cultural assignations could be made. Site 36 MG 15 is a multi-component site representative of Early Archaic through Late Woodland occupation. Sites 36 MG 134 and 162 represent sites which were occupied from Early Archaic through-the Transitional cultural periods.
Phase I surface reconnaissance and existing data research indicated the presence of archeological. materials in close i
proximity to ten structure footing locations. Phase II surf ace collections and test excavations were conducted at these ten locations to further define the nature and extent of the archeological materials. Based on the Phase II 53
testing, it was determined that potentially significant i archeological sites do not extend into the proposed locations of Structures 6/7, 7/1, 7/2, 7/3, 7/5, 7/6, 7/7, 8/1, 8/2, and 8/3. Accordingly, construction of these structures will l have no effect upon significant archeological resources.
To conclude, the archeological investigation described herein has been conducted in accordance with procedures agreed to by PECo and PHMC to insure the adequate consideration of significant a rcheological r esources. Accordingly, construction of the proposed 220-60 Transmission Line is expected to result in no effect to significant cultural
- resources.

Box 1026 Ifarrisburg, Pennsylvania 17120
Dear Mr. Ramsey:
With reference to your letter to Harry Bechtel of this office, dated September 27, 1982, we regret that there was a misunderstanding of the scope of archaeological work necessary prior to commencing construction of transmission linen associated with Limerick Generating Station.
Of the five transmission lines involved (see Exhibit I), lines 1, 2 and 3 are ucheduled for construction beginning in early 19U3. The significant amount of additional work required could have a potentially severe impact on this construction schedule. With this fact in mind, we began, immediately following receipt of your letter, to develop a program which we have confidence will moet the needs of all concernod without delaying approval I - A predictive site location model (see Exhibit II) has been developed by our consultant, John Milner Assoc., West Chester, Pa. Each of the transmission lines has been evaluated on the basis of the model, with areas of high, niodorato and low sito probability defined; II - A Phase I survey of the transmission line routes was begun on November 3, and is expected to be completed by December 15. The survey mothodology being used includes a thorough survey of areas having high and moderate site potential, and minimal survey in areas deemed to be low in potential. All sites discovered under l
this Phase I survey will be recorded on standard State (PASS) forms; III - Once Phase I is completed, a Phase II survey will begin. Sitos to bo subjected to Phase II survey will be chosen based upon surficial evidence, studies of existing collections, site reports and projected adverse af fect. The Phase II survey will initially concentrate on the first three lines to be constructed. Thoso lines scheduled for later construction will be done last; l

j IV - It is anticipated that a number of potentially significant sites
- will be diucovered during Phases I and II in addition to savocal uitou alcoady l 3 recorded (known sites having potential significance, and which may be affected, l
! include CH 53 and CH 103). Phase II excavations are already underway on Cl! 103. !
I CH 53 will also be subjected to Phase II investigation. Potential significance of I niten, .ind the affectu of the project on thoue uites, will bo dincunned wit h t he
- State, and on those significant sites where adverse affect is projected, mitigativu j measures agreeable to you and us will be implemented.
V - On November 9, 1982, a meeting was hold in the ol'[lecu of the i State Archaeologist. Those present were B. Kent and Kurt Carr of PHMC, W. Payne '
] and G. Paradis of PE Co. and D. Roberts of J. Milner Associates. At this meeting,
- the tightness of our construction schedule was pointed out, the Phase I model was dincuunnd with no discernable objections and the above program wau diucuuued. Thu following items were agreed upon
! A - Two of the first three lines to be constructed (Lines 1 and 2, I Exhibit 1) are almost completely within railroad rights-ut-way.
The other three lines are entirely on existing transminnion line rights-of-way. It was agreed that large portions of the lines within the railroad rights-of-way would be approved baned ugen
- the Phase I surveys j
i a - It was also agreed that due to the tight construction schedule,
{ an abbreviated report would be sufficient for aPfroval. The ;
} abbreviated report will follow HCas Guidelines for Management Summaries (Isshibit III). Doth PECO personnel and reprocentativun
) of J. Milner Assoc. will be readily available for consultation followisi j submission of the abbreviated report. A full report, in accordance j with SHPO guidelines, will be submitted at the earliest opportunityl C - It was indicated that approval for all five lines will be given to
} the PUC subject to PECO agreeing to follow the above described prograe j for all lines; t
! D - It was agreed that in those areas where PECO utilises esisting l access roads, no mitigative measures will be required.
t i
We fool confident that this program will meet with your approval. We !
a look forward to cooperating with you on this and future projects. '

MONTGOMERY AND CHESTER COUNTIES, PENNSYLVANI A l
The following locational model is based on several factors, which include geology, drainage, soils, and present land use. The study area under con-sideration is comprised of four proposed transmission line rights-of-way located in Montgoniery and Chester counties. The rights-of-way extend east and southeast of the Limerick nuclear power plant, cover a distance of 68.3 miles, and range from a minimum of 80 feet to a maximum of 520 feet in width. The study area is situated in the Piedmont Physiographic Pro-vince (Tenneman and Johnson 1946), and is comprised of low, rolling hills interspersed with floodplains in the interior, and floodplains, terraces, and bluffs overlooking the Schuylkill River. The area is well watered by such streams as the Perkiomen and Skippack Creeks and innumerable smaller stre.rus which eventually feed into the Schuylkill (Struthers and ilot fman 1982).
fach of the four proposed transmission lines have been evaluated u'.ing the factors discussed above, and areas of high, moderate, and low site proba-bility have been defined using these factors. The areas of high sito proba-bility include upland areas such as hilltops, hillsides, terraces, and bluf fs near major watercourses. Arcas of moderate site pro! ability in-clude upland areas near minor watercourses and floodplains. Areas of low site probability include areas having slope in excess of 15 percent dnd previously disturbed areas such as housing subdivisions, industrial parks, road and railroad rights-of-way.
The first survey segnent extends southeast from Lincrick to Cromby on the cast and west banks of the Schuylkill over a distance of 16 miles. This survey segment is located in a highly developed area and, as a result, 10.5 miles of the segment are rated low, 4.3 miles have moderate potential, and 1.7 miles have high potential (See Table 1). The second survey r.egnient extemis cast fmm Cromby to Plynouth Meeting over a distance of 70./ miles.
This segment is also located in an~ area of heavy development, and 10.3 miles of the *.cyment was rated low, three miles has nederato potenLial, and /.4 ExHIBtT IC
d a miles has high potential (Table 1). The third segment extends from Cromby to fiorth Wales over a distance of 15.4 miles. The survey segment is located in a rural setting where disturbance is minimal, and 6.2 miles of this segment has been rated as having moderate potential and 9.2 miles high potential. The last segment extends from Limerick to Whitpain over a distance of 16.2 miles. This survey segment is also primarily rural in character and disturbance is minimal. The segment has been rated as having 1.8 miles of low site potential, 6.3 miles of moderate potential, and 8.1 miles of high potential.
Based un known site densities in similar environmental settings, it is estimated that areas of high site potential will produce 1 to 1.5 sites per mile and areas of moderate potential are expected to produce .5 to 1 site per miles. Given these expectations, the survey should result in the Incation of a minimum of 36 sites and a maximum of 59 sites. The exact number of sites which will be located as a result of the survey cannot be predicted due to several limiting external factors, which include the exist-ing limited data base, and the conditions under which the survey is con-ducted.
The survey methodology being proposed includes a 100 percent survey of those areas rated as having high and moderate site potential, and minimal survey in those areas rated as having low potential. Survey in low potential
, areas will consist of vehicular and pedestrian survey in order to assess and confirm the unsuitability of the terrain for habitation or the dis-turbances caused by prior development. Survey in the noderate and high potential areas will consist of surface reconnaissance in those areas where surface visibility is sufficient for cultural resource assessment, and subsurface testing where visibility is inadequate or in areas where j the possibility of deeply buried deposits exists. Survey procedures and results will be documented using field notes, drawings, and photographs.

SUBJECT:
Archaeological Survey, Transmission Lines Associated l with Limerick Generating Station
Dear Mr. Ramsey:
In a letter to you dated December 1,1982, we outlined to you a program designalh> adequately consider those prehistoric cultural resources within the area f
of concern. This letter is to make you aware of the results of the archaeological survey to date, and to inform you of the results of discussions with Mr. Kurt Carr, P.'t.M.C., on February 2 and 3, 1983, at which time mutually agreeable mitigative measures were determined regarding three sites deemed to be potentially significant.
An outline of these meetings and the mitigative measures agreed upon follows:
A. First meeting was held on Wednesday, February 2,1983. Those l present were Mr. Carr and P. Jehle of the P.!!.M.C., D. Roberts and K. Zatz of John Milner Associates, West Chester, Pennsylvania.
Representing Philadelphia Electric Company wero P. Cava, T. Milone and W. Payne.
Mr. Roserts first reviewed the results of the survey to date, stating that 23 new sites have been uncovered, virtually all of which are ephemeral, upland sites, and do not appear to have significance. The phase two survey was performed on all sites for which sufficient data was not available following the phase one survey. Mr. Carr was satisfied that proper procedures had been followed throughout the survey. An offer was made, and accepted, to have Mr. Cart review the artifacts and data associated with these sites the following day at the offices of John Milner Associates in West Chester, Pennsylania.
Three sites which are of concern were then discussed. The first of these sites, 36 CH 103, is directly across the Schuylkill River from Limerick Nuclear Generating Station and will be impacted by one of the transmission lines to be constructed. This sites stretches for w

Mr. Greg Ramsey l page 2 February 22, 1983 l
I thousands of feet along the river bank and cannot be avoided during this project. As this site has yielded thousands of artifacts dating from approximately 7000 D.C. to the period just before the coming of the Europeans, and as several features have been uncovered in the process of limited excavations conducted in the past, mitigative measures have been discussed at length in order to determine what measures PE CO may take to minimize impact upon the site. Mitigative measures decided upon, and accepted by Mr. Carr, are as follows:
- 1. Approximately 1100 feet of new construction is involved I with a single structuro falling within the site. An existing ,
stone access road leads to within approximately 200 feet of this proposed structure. From this point to the structure a new access road must be constructed. Top soil along the proposed access road will be carefully stripped with a gradeall aml a thoroupa search made for subsurface features.
Should any features be found during this process they will be excavated, unless they should be excessive in number, in which case a representative sample will be excavated. The same procedure will be carried out in the area immediately surrounding the proposed structure site.
- 2. As mentioned above, approximately 1100 feet of new right of way affect the site. Impact will be avoided on all but the new structure location by utilizing a helicopter to fly in the load lines for pulling cable. This will avoid the necessity of using heavy equipment along the 1100 feet of right of way.
Only the structure location, and the 200 feet of new access
~
road, will have an impact on the site.
The second area of concern lies on the east bank of the Schuylkill River Directly across from our Cromby Generating Station. It has been impossible bc do any but minimal archaeological work in this area due to the presence of
, raw sewage spread upon the surface of the ground covering approximately l 2800 feet of right of way.- Although it has been possible to do only ,
minimal survey work in this area, existing collections indicate that a l broad range of projectile points, as well as pottery, have been found at I one or more sites within this 2800 foot strip. It was proposed to Mr. Carr, and accepted, that a strip approximately 20 feet wide would be p* owed, following the rout s of the ptoposed access road. A controlled surface search would then be conducted along the plowed strip. Should any areas of artifact concentration be uncovered, mitigative measures would be followed within those areas. These mitigative measures would be the same as those proposed for 36 CH 103.
1 i
1 I
pago J The third area of concern lies on the east bank of Skippack Creek along our proposed Cromby-North Wales Line. Sites of high potential lie on both sides of the proposed transmission line at this location.
Findings within the right of way, however, have been minimal with the exception of a small area just east of Skippack Creek. This is a flood plane area lying only 3 to 4 feet above the elevation of the existing
. creek. No surface finds were found in this area, however, a test pit uncovered a large number of water worn pottery sherds lying within a lens i of darker soil approximately 6 inches in thickness and approximately 18 inches below the surface of the ground. No other artifacts wore found.
No artifacts were found in nearby test pits either, nor was the dark band of soil. Mr. Carr reserved judgment cn this location antil 'te coald personally view th, site in tne field the following day.
Discussion was held regarding the two lines to be built along the existing railroad rights of way between Limerick and Cromby. Mr. Carr stated that with the exception of 36 CH 103 and the site across from Cromby Generating Station on which raw sewage has been spread, these lines were clear for construction so long as structure locations and heavy equipment were
! limited to the ballast area, railroad access roads and other heavily disturbed areas. Philadelphia Electric Company has agreed to restrict contractors to those arous.
- u. On robruary 3,1983, following a fic1d inspection of the Skippack Creek site, Mr. Carr mot with D. Roberts, K. Zatz in the offices of John Milner Associates, West Chester, Pennsylvania. W. Payne of this of fice was not present due to illness. The subject site was discussed in detail. Mr.
Carr felt that the dark lens of soil was probably the only vestige remaining of a prehistoric living surface, the remainder of which had probably washed away during a flood in the past. It was agreed that the test pit, in which the pottery sherds and dark lens of soil had been .
discovered, would be expanded in an attempt to define the limits of the dark band of soil, and hopefully to locate diagnostic artifacts which might be associated with the pottery. Philadelphia Electric Company has agreed to the above.
Mr. Carr reviewed the artifacts and data relative to the 23 new sites uncovered, and agreed that to date mitigative measures were necessary only on the three sites discussed above.
We greatly appreciate the quick responses and close cooperation afforded l by you and Mr. Carr, and look forward to working closely with you in the !
future.'

S. Frieman to '
Mr. Greg Ramsoy, dated February 22, 1983)
Dear Ms. Williams:
In order to keep you informed, an update regarding progress of the Archaeological Survey of transmission lines associated with Limerick Generating Station follows:
l ll 1. 220-60 Lines, Limerick to Cromby, east side of Schuylkill River ....
Phase I and Phase II surveys complete except for a single area across
,, the Schuylkill River from Cromby Generating Station. It was agreed l with Kurt Carr that, following plowing, this area would be subjected to intense surface search, and should any concentrations of artifacts be present within areas to be impacted, mitigative measures would be followed.
The area has now been plowed and, following the first rain, the surface search will be conducted. Mitigative measures, should they be necessary, will begin shortly thereaftst. All other areas of this line have been cleared for construction.
- 2. 220-61 Line, Limerick to Cromby, west side of Schuylkill River .........
Phase I and Phase II surveys 100% complete on this line, with 36CH103 (west bank of Schuylkill River, across from Limerick Generating Station)
I being the only area requiring mitigation. Mitigative measures at two structure locations, and along approximately 500 feet of access road, will begin Monday, May 16.
- 3. 220-62 Line, Cromby to North Wales ......
Phase I and Phase II surveys complete except for the area across from Cromby Generating Station described under 220-60 Line, above, which is also j impacted by this line, but more extensively. Mitigative measures will be r conducted wherever necessary.
I l
Ms. Donna Williams page 2 May 17, 1983 A second locus exists, just north of the above, wh ch requires mitigation. Attempts are being made to avoid impact on the major portion of this site by negotiating access routes outside the right of way which skirt the areas of artifact concentration. If these
, alternat6 routes can be negotiated, it will greatly lessen Lapact on the site and diminish the areas requiring data retrieval, thus leaving the major portion of potential sub-surfact features intact. Mitigative measures,within areas where impact cannot be avoided, will begin immediately following harvest of the winter wheat crop which now covers the site.
Mitigative measures on a third locus which lies just east of Skippack Creek will be performed sometime in June of this year. At this location, potsherds, but no other artifacts, were uncovered in a 6 inch-thick lense of soil which has evidently boon subjected to flood erosion at some time
- in the past. Mitigative measures will determine the boundaries of this lense and hopefully retrieve additional diagnostics.
- 4. 220-63 Line, Cromby to Plymouth Meeting. . . . .
Phase I survey is approximately 954 complete on this line, with Phase II currently being performed in certain areas of potential significance.
Site 36CH53 has already been deemed to be significant, and mitigative measures will begin shortly at two structure locations and along approxi-mately 1000 feet of access road crossing the site.
We greatly appreciate the cooperation and prompt attention afforded to us by you and your predecessor, Mr. Ramsey, as well as that of Mr. Carr and Mr. Kent. You may rest assured that we will properly deal with any additional significant sites l which may be uncovered by the survey. We look forward to future dealings with your l office.

Archaeolocical ::nevey, Transmission Lines Associated with Idmerick Generating Station
Dear Ms. Williame:
in pruvious luttern to you and your predecessor, Mr. Itamsey, we havo outlined progress regarding the archaeological survey being performed in conjunction with transmission lines associated with Limerick Generating Station. This letter is intended to further updale you on samo and to assure that you aru fully informed with respect to activitien related to the survey.
- 1. 220-60 Line, Limerick to Cromby, east side of Schuylkill River . . . ..
Ali archaoulumnal work huu been completed on this linu. Aimuut Lhu entire length of the line is located within previously disturbed portions of railroad right of way. Only a short portion of the line, approximately one (1) mile in length, traverses relatively undisturbed countryside.
Within a 14,000 root stretch of this area, a series of sites was found l which were potuntially significant, based upon, among other things, Early Archaic material found on the surface. This area lies east of, and across the Schuylkill 11Lver from, Cromby Generating Station.
Every effort was made to minimize disturbance to the subject sites. The construction of an access road down the center of ~ the right of way would have resulted in heavy impact to the sites. Consequently, negotiations were conducted wi th adjacent property owners whereby the access road could be constructed partially outside the right of way, skirting the sites. The accoas road was laid on the surface of the ground and will be left in place. This will further minimize sub-surfaco disturbance.
Roadways from this. main access road to the structure locations were stripped of all but 1" to ?" of topsoil utilizing i gradeall. They then were flat-shoveled and finally trowelled carefully in a search for sub-surface features which were excavated when found. It is anticipated that consiuerable

knowledee will be gained regarding the nature of upland sites in the region, as a total of over 46,000 square feet were excavated in this fashion at four neparate locations. Work on the final report for this line has been initiated.
I
- 2. 220-61 Line, Liusrick to Cromby, west side of Schuylkill River . . . . . .
As with the 2:%-o0 Line, virtually the entire length of line is located '
within previously disturbed railroad right of way, the single exception is a short spur which crosses site 36CH 103, located west of, and directly across the Schuylkill River from, Limerick Generating Station.
Previous limited excavations on this site provided evidence of the presence of sub-surface features. Consequently, it was evident that every attempt shouM be made to minimize construction impact. A field meeting was held, whereby it was dotermined that impact could be greatly reduced through utilization of an existing stone road which extended to within 500 feet of one structure and a stone driveway which passes within 50 feet of the .
other structure location. This resulted in the n;cd for only 500 feet of '
now accoas road.* The access road and both structuro locutions were stripped of plowzone and then flat-shoveled and trowelled to the limit of sub-surface artifact presence. All features encountered,which were numerous at the structure- location on the first terrace, were properly excavated.
Large amounta or charcoal, and some artifacts, were recovered. Work on the final report for this line has begun..
~
3, 220-62 Line, Cromby to North Wales . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .
All but a smali portion of archaeological work has been completed on this
' line. The major portion of mitigative measures resulted from the 4,000 foot long area described under'the 220-60 Line. The two lines are adjacent in this area.
l A second potentially significant area, east of Skippack Creek, is being left until all other work is completed, as it was possible to skirt the area with the accean road. During the Phase I survey, potsherds were found in a six (6) inch lense of soil which excavations proved to be less than 50 feet in diameter, the remainder having been eroded away by flood at some-time in the pacL. The area is safe from current disturbace, and it is therofor questionable as to whether further excavations should be conducted at this time. ::hould your office feel that further work is advisable, how-l over, we will follow through with same upon completion of other work on the project. Work in beginning on the final report relative to the remainder.or the line.
