An Archaeological Curation-Needs Assessment for the U.S. Navy, Engineering Field Activity, Chesapeake Division

At the direction of Headquarters, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District conducted a survey, during the period February 1995 to September 1996, of archaeological collections recovered from eight U.S. Navy Engineering Field Activity, Chesapeake Division, facilities. Specifically, the research focused on properties In Maryland (U.S. Naval Academy; Naval Training Facility, Bainbridge; Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division; Naval Communications Detachment, Cheltenham; Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division; and Naval Air Warfare Center, Patuxent Division) and Virginia (Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, and Marine Corps Base, Quantico). In sum, 281 ft3 of archaeological materials and 17 linear feet of associated records from these facilities are curated in 13 repositories. All collections require at least partial rehabilitation to comply with 36 CFR Part 79.受海军设施工程司令部总部指令，美国陆军工程兵团圣路易斯分区于1995年2月至1996年9月期间，针对美国海军工程外勤局切萨皮克分局下辖8处设施出土的考古藏品开展了系统性调查。本次研究的聚焦对象为分布于马里兰州的6处设施（美国海军学院、班布里奇海军训练设施、水面作战研究中心卡德洛克分部、切尔滕纳姆海军通信分队、水面作战研究中心印第安海德分部以及帕塔克森特海军航空作战中心），与弗吉尼亚州的2处设施（水面作战研究中心达尔格伦分部、匡蒂科海军陆战队基地）。综上，上述设施出土的281立方英尺考古遗存与17线性英尺相关档案，现由13家藏品保管机构馆藏。所有藏品均需至少开展部分修复整理工作，以符合36 CFR Part 79的相关规范要求。
