Three of the overall survey’s positive STPs were ultimately found to be within the limits of this existing site. The previously recorded Warrior Run Quarry site (36NB0107) was relocated during testing. Nine STPs excavated at the site location produced cultural material in the form of 23 lithic artifacts. The bifaces would appear to be possibly Middle Archaic in age, but that postulation is speculative at this time. The newly discovered site is a stratified multi-component site that produced two bifaces during the Phase I testing including a whole point and a point base. One new site was discovered in the southeastern portion of the APE and 6 isolated finds were documented at various locations across the property. Of the STPs that were excavated, 18 probes produced cultural material. Another 34 were planned but not dug due to a variety of circumstances including the sloping nature of the terrain at some locations and areas within the APE that display extensive disturbance. Allegheny Archaeology Research excavated 237 shovel test probes (STPs) during the course of the survey. The other site, Warrior Run Quarry (36NB0107), is a small open air site centered on an erosional ditch where former Native occupants of the property apparently gathered local Helderberg chert for tool making purposes. 001032) which is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). A dwelling that was subsequently constructed near where the fort once stood is the Hower-Slote house (Key No. The location of 36NB0106 corresponds to the historic location of Fort Freeland where a Revolutionary War Era battle occurred resulting in the deaths of 21 individuals who were trapped at the fort. 001032), that could potentially be affected by the proposed development. Background examination of the PASS files found in the CRGIS database indicated that there are two known sites (36NB0106 and 36NB0107) and a historic structure, the Hower-Slote house (Key No. The Phase I survey involved background research and field testing. The goal of the archaeological survey was to locate and record all cultural resources within the project area evaluate identified cultural resources under National Register of Historic Places criteria and make recommendations based on these findings. Warrior Run, a tributary stream to the Susquehanna River, flows just east and south of the project area. It is situated just east of the existing Warrior Run High School facility on property owned by the school district, but currently leased for cultivation. The project area of potential effects (APE) consists of approximately 23 acres (9.31 ha) and is found on the Milton, PA USGS 7.5’ topographic quadrangle. The desired construction site is located approximately 2.1 km (1.3 miles) northwest of the village of Turbotville in Lewis Township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. to conduct a Phase I survey for the proposed Warrior Run elementary school facility.
