Archeological Survey and Testing in the Holy Cross Historic District, New Orleans, Louisiana. Volume 2
Abstract
This report summarizes the results of field work within a portion of the Holy Cross Historic District. The study area consisted of approximately 26 acres. Shovel tests and units were dug within four city squares which were assigned state site numbers 16OR130-134. excavations and data analyses indicate that archeological deposits and features are associated with several components (a nineteenth century brick yard and slave quarters, late-19th- to early-20th century residences, commercial establishments, and truck farms) and that these deposits exhibit the quality of integrity. In addition, they are significant because of their research potential. These deposits and features contain artifacts which could further our understanding of lifeways from approximately 1800 to 1920. Because the archeological resources are significant, detailed recommendations are provided in the report concerning mitigative data recovery in the event that construction in the study area becomes necessary.
