American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009 Section 110 Compliance Report for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, NHPA, Cultural Resources Investigations, Technical Report No. 5, (Volume 6): Archeological Investigations at South Rock, Cooke’s Island Village of Whitehall, Washington

JMA conducted archeological investigations at South Rock, Cooke's Island, located in the Narrows of Lake Champlain in the Village of Whitehall, New York, on behalf of the USACOE-New York District. JMA’s investigation consisted of Phase I survey of seven acres of South Rock and Phase II evaluations of two previously identified historic foundations.
JMA excavated 118 shovel tests and 15 1m x 1m excavation units from which a total of 3,126 artifacts were recovered. JMA's survey work identified foundation remains of structures associated with the late 19th century W. Cook and Son Planing Mill. JMA's survey work also identified a ca. 1812 rectangular-shaped earthwork that was constructed on top of South Rock in the center of a prehistoric lithic quarry/reductions site. It is JMA’s opinion that South Rock is a prehistoric lithic quarry site, with numerous loci of prehistoric occupation and utilization of the lithic resource.

JMA受美国陆军工程兵团纽约区（USACOE-New York District）委托，在位于纽约州怀特霍尔村尚普兰湖狭水道的库克岛南岩开展考古调查。本次调查包含两项内容：一是对南岩7英亩区域开展第一阶段考古测绘，二是对两处此前已确认的历史建筑基址开展第二阶段考古评估。JMA共布设并发掘118个铲探测试点与15个1米×1米发掘单元，总计出土3126件考古遗物。经调查确认，此处存在与19世纪末W.库克父子刨木厂相关的建筑基址遗存；同时还发现一处约建于1812年的方形土方工程，该工程修建于南岩顶部，坐落于一处史前石器原料采石与加工遗址的中心区域。JMA认为，南岩属于史前石器采石遗址，存在多处史前人类活动与石器资源利用的遗迹位点。
