This is the final version of this report. This is volume 2 of 2 and includes appendices I-V including, qualifications of key personnel, survey block maps, artifact catalog, shovel test pit records, New Jersey State Museum site registration forms. TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) conducted a Planning Level (Phase I) Cultural Resource Survey of approximately 162 hectares (400 acres) of selected, discontiguous Tactical Training Areas (TACs) on Fort Dix, New Jersey between December 2003 and March 2004. The purpose of the Phase 1 survey was to locate and identify any potentially significant cultural resources in portions of TACs 1D, 1E, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C, 5A, 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 8A, 8B, 9A, and 9B, and to refine the Archeological Predictive Model currently in place at Fort Dix. In addition, this investigation also involved systematic subsurface testing of 22 previously identified historic features/foundations and three previously identified prehistoric lithic surface scatters.

In addition, this investigation also involved systematic subsurface testing of 22 previously identified historic features/foundations and three previously identified prehistoric lithic surface scatters. In total, 52 archaeological sites and 47 isolated artifact finds were investigated during this survey. Of the sites examined, 25 were previously on record with the New Jersey State Museum. These include 22 historic sites, two prehistoric sites, and one multi-component site. Based on the results of this investigation, Phase II archaeological testing is recommended for 36 sites (11 prehistoric sites and 25 historic sites). No recommendations can be made regarding previously reported site 28-BU-529, as it was not relocated. Additional investigation of the remaining 16 sites (as well as the isolated finds) is not considered warranted due to a relative paucity of cultural material and/or evidence of significant disturbance.

Between December 2003 and March 2004, TRC Environmental Corporation (TRC) conducted a Planning Level (Phase I) Cultural Resource Survey for approximately 162 hectares (400 acres) of selected, discontiguous tactical training areas. This survey was performed for the Fort Dix Directorate of Public Works/Environmental Division and represents partial fulfillment of Fort Dix’s ongoing cultural resources compliance under Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended. The purpose of the Phase I survey was to locate and identify any potentially significant cultural resources in Tactical Areas (TACs) ID, IE, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 5A, 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 8A, 9A and 9B, and to refine the Archeological Predictive Model currently in place at Fort Dix. In addition, this investigation also involved systematic subsurface testing of 22 previously identified historic features/foundations and three previously identified prehistoric lithic surface scatters. A total of 56 separate archaeological sites and isolated finds were encountered during this investigation. Of this total, 25 were previously known sites (22 historic and three prehistoric) that were specifically slated for systematic shovel testing. The remaining 31 previously undocumented sites included 11 historic domestic dwellings and 20 prehistoric cultural deposits and/or isolated finds.
