Archaeological Survey, Airfield Clearing 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 proposed clearing and grubbing at an airfield at Fort A.P. Hill, Caroline County, Virginia. The proposed airfield clearing will include the removal of trees and vegetation, grubbing, and seeding along the edges of an existing airfield. The Area of Potential Effect for the project includes approximately 1.3 hectares (3.2 acres).

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. The survey included pedestrian surface survey and the excavation of shovel tests. No archaeological sites, artifacts, cultural features, or cultural deposits were encountered during the survey.
