Report on the 1997 Archeological Investigations at Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site St. Louis, Missouri

From June 30 through July 25, 1997, subsurface archeological investigations were conducted at four areas of Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, historically known as White Haven, in St. Louis, Missouri (Figure 1). Ground-disturbing activities were planned as part of the restoration and maintenance of the historic property and such investigations were necessary to mitigate any adverse impacts to significant buried archeological deposits within the project area.
This project, the fifth archeological research expedition carried out on the site since 1990 (Noble 1997; Price and Hastings 1998), was conducted under a cooperative agreement between the National Park Service and the University of Missouri-Columbia. Dr. James E. Price of the University of Missouri-Columbia served as principal investigator, and research strategy for the project was established by Dr. Price and Dr. Mark Lynott of the Midwest Archeological Center (MWAC). Karin Roberts and Renata Coleman of the Midwest Archeological Center served as crew chiefs, while field technicians on the project included Chris Brown, Jennifer Marlar, and John Swigart of the Midwest Archeological Center and Judy Harpole of the University of Missouri-Columbia. All work on the site was coordinated with Jill York O’Bright, Superintendent of Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site.
Artifacts and related archival materials from the 1997 project are stored and cataloged under ULSG accession number 9 (MWAC accession number 720).

1997年6月30日至7月25日，研究团队于密苏里州圣路易斯市的尤利西斯·S·格兰特国家历史遗址（Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site，历史上亦称白庄园（White Haven））的4处区域开展地下考古调查（图1）。本次遗址的修复与维护工作规划了地面扰动作业，为减缓该作业对项目区内重要埋藏考古遗存的不利影响，开展本次考古调查实属必要。
本项目是1990年以来该遗址开展的第五次考古研究考察，相关参考文献标注为Noble 1997、Price and Hastings 1998，由美国国家公园管理局（National Park Service）与密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校（University of Missouri-Columbia）通过合作协议联合实施。密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校的詹姆斯·E·普莱斯博士担任首席研究员，项目研究方案由普莱斯博士与中西部考古中心（Midwest Archeological Center, MWAC）的马克·林诺特博士共同制定。中西部考古中心的卡琳·罗伯茨与雷娜塔·科尔曼担任项目领队，本次项目的野外技术员包括中西部考古中心的克里斯·布朗、詹妮弗·马勒、约翰·斯威格特，以及密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校的朱迪·哈波尔。本遗址的全部工作均与尤利西斯·S·格兰特国家历史遗址主管吉尔·约克·奥布莱特协调推进。
本次1997年项目出土的文物及相关档案资料，已按照ULSG入藏编号9（中西部考古中心入藏编号720）完成入库与编目工作。
