Nature's Refuge Development <br />Phase I Archaeological Survey and Architectural History Assessment <br />Page 13 <br />5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS <br />During May of 2006, The 106 Group conducted a Phase I archaeological survey and <br />architectural history assessment for the Nature's Refuge Development project. The <br />proposed housing development project area encompassed 240 acres (97 hectares), of <br />which one acre (0.4 hectares) was tested for archaeological resources. Shovel testing was <br />performed within three identified areas of high archaeological potential. A total of 28 <br />shovel tests were excavated to an average depth of 83 cmbs, but no archaeological <br />materials were recovered. Based on the lack of archaeological materials found within the <br />surveyed areas, no further archaeological work is recommended prior to construction of <br />the proposed project. <br />The 106 Group identified three buildings within the project area older than 45 years of <br />age. Three houses were constructed in the 1960s and one house is believed to be a circa - <br />1900 farmhouse, but has been significantly altered by modern modifications. The <br />properties have low potential to be eligible for listing on the NRHP. <br />• <br />• <br />
