An Archeological Overview and Management Plan for Rotterdam Housing Areas Numbers 1 and 2.
Abstract
This plan provides a tool which will assist DARCOM in its efforts to comply with regulations and procedures which relate to historic preservation at Rotterdam Housing. Areas nos. 1 and 2 comprise approximately 10 acres in the town of Rotterdam, Schenectady County, NY. This document summarizes data relating to the area's environmental history; cultural chronology; historic and modern ground disturbances previous archeological surveys, etc. No significant archeological remains are known to exist at Rotterdam Housing. Prehistoric sites and early historic sites have been reported in the general vicinity and it is possible that undisturbed portions of Rotterdam Housing have archeological potential. This study recommends that the responsible installation develop procedures which will: (a) insure consideration of unrecorded archeological cultural resources when implementation of development plans will result in disturbance of previously undisturbed portions of Rotterdam Housing; and (b) deal with emergency fortuitous discoveries of archeological resources. Since there are presently no ground-disturbing future development plans for Rotterdam Housing, this study does not recommend site or project specific archeological management activities.
