Archaeological Survey Wilcox Scrap Yard Fort A.P. Hill, Caroline County, Virginia

The Fort A.P. Hill Cultural Resource Manager, under the Environmental Division of the Directorate of Public Works within Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, has completed Phase I archaeological survey in association with the proposed expansion of facilities at the Wilcox scrap yard at Fort A.P. Hill, Caroline County, Virginia. The proposed undertaking will include the construction of an approximately 18-meter (60-foot) long by 7-meter (24-foot) wide loading ramp with a 3-meter (10-foot) wall at the high end. The undertaking may include clearing vegetation around the existing scrap yard and installing additional fences around the expanded scrap yard area. The area of potential effect for the undertaking consists of the proposed location for the ramp and additional areas in the immediate vicinity that have not previously been surveyed for cultural resources and which may be developed in the future. The APE for the project measures approximately 1.8 hectares (4.47 acres) in size.
The objective of the archaeological survey was to identify any historic properties that may be located within the APE and evaluate the potential eligibility of any such resources for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. No artifacts, archaeological sites, intact cultural features, or intact cultural deposits were identified in the APE during the survey.

弗吉尼亚州A.P.希尔堡公共工程局环境分部下辖的文化资源管理专员，已针对弗吉尼亚州卡罗琳县A.P.希尔堡威尔科克斯废料场的设施拟扩建项目完成第一阶段考古调查。本次拟实施工程包括建造一条长约18米（60英尺）、宽7米（24英尺）的装载坡道，坡道高端设有一道3米（10英尺）高的挡墙。该工程可能还包括清理现有废料场周边的植被，以及在扩建后的废料场区域增设围栏。本次工程的潜在影响区域（Area of Potential Effect, APE）涵盖拟建造坡道的位置，以及此前未开展过文化资源调查、未来可能进行开发的周边紧邻区域。该项目的潜在影响区域面积约为1.8公顷（4.47英亩）。本次考古调查的目标为识别潜在影响区域内的所有历史遗迹，并评估此类资源是否符合列入《国家历史遗迹名录（National Register of Historic Places）》的资格。经本次调查，未在潜在影响区域内发现任何人工制品、考古遗址、完整文化遗迹或完整文化堆积层。
