INTRODUCTION This report presents the results of a Phase III Archaeological Site Data Recovery of the Dey Site (A07505.000014) and the Sey Site (A07505.000015) within the tract of land designated as a future retail center (Project # 04PR2772). The tract is within the Town of Granby in the central portion of Oswego County, New York (Figures 1 & 2). The evaluation was conducted for APD Engineering of Rochester, New York (APD Project #3332-00) and was conducted in anticipation of the possible future construction of the retail center and support facilities and in response to recommendations (6/5/06) from the NYS Office of Parks Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP). Since these or other developments are to be state permitted, an archaeological site evaluation was conducted in compliance with state and national implementation procedures: State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and National Parks Service Bulletins #36 and #16A. Permitting agencies include the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Department of Health (DOH). Archaeological fieldwork was completed between July 10-14, 2006 by HAZEx staff including Andrew Glover and Chris Hazel. The artifact analysis and final report preparation was conducted during the summer of 2006 by Andrew Glover and Chris Hazel. PREVIOUS RESEARCH The Sey Site was initially investigated in March 2005 and reinvestigated along with the investigation of the Dey Site from January to June of 2006 as part of an Archaeological Sensitivity Assessment, Survey and Testing of a 38-acre tract of land in the Town of Granby, Oswego County, New York. The Phase I report on the tract indicated that both site areas have been determined to be within the area of potential effect (APE) for the retail center (Hazel et al. 2006a). Phase II Testing included the excavation of a one meter wide test unit (TU) at the Sey Site and Shovel Tests (ST) were excavated around the previously excavated "positive" ST from the Phase I investigations at both the Dey Site and Sey Site in order to sample artifacts within the site, locate buried features, and establish the horizontal extent of the site. A total of twenty-eight 50 centimeter square ST were excavated externally from the existing site in the four cardinal directions at 1.5 meter intervals in April of 2006. A total of 26 additional ST were not excavated toward the center of the site area. A total of 5 cubic meters of soil was processed through ST excavations. A total of 0.6 cubic meters of soil was processed through TU excavations. The Phase II report confirmed that two separate site areas within the APE for the retail center facilities comprised approximately 0.15 acres and consisted of a completely disturbed plowzone containing mixed historic and prehistoric material covering sterile subsoils (Hazel et al. 2006b). No remains of intact prehistoric cultural features were identified within the APE. No precise evidence for individual chronologies and functions of each site was uncovered. Based on the Phase I and Phase II reports on the tract completed by HAZEx, and comments from Nancy Herter, Western Unit Archaeologist for the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) these sites have been determined to be within the APE (1/16/06 & 6/5/06). Both the Sey and Dey Sites consist of prehistoric artifact scatters covering 70 and 245 square meters, respectively. Despite the Phase II evidence for recent disturbance across both site areas and no evidence for buried features, the OPRHP determined that since there are sites important to the interpretation of the earliest inhabitants of North America previously documented within the vicinity of the project area the monitored mechanical excavation of the site areas would be necessary. The OPRHP have determined that any buried features within the sites areas, no matter how unlikely, would make the sites potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) due to their potential to contain important information about the prehistory of New York (Nancy Herter personal communication 6/5/06 & 6/30/06). HAZEx 1
METHODS The archaeologically monitored mechanical excavation of the sites involved the removal of topsoils (30-50 centimeters in thickness) across the entire site areas using a back-hoe with a smooth bucket. The sites were stripped in archaeological blocks or controlled areas within the previously established site grids (see Phase II Report (Hazel et al. 2006b). Excavations were made using a backhoe with a three foot wide smooth bucket to remove plow-zone soils in 2-10 centimeter increments. The blocks were repeatedly shovel-skimmed during and after the mechanical stripping. Possible prehistoric features such as storage or fire pits were fully recorded within and immediately adjacent to the specific limits of the sites. The three features were completely excavated and their contents analyzed using appropriate techniques. Features were mapped in plan from established data, excavated in half section, mapped in profile, and then completely excavated. All soils from features excavated at the Dey Site and a sample of an ashen stratum from the Sey Site were processed using manual flotation and screened through fine mesh. Artifact analysis was conducted on material recovered from surface collections and feature contexts. Analysis involved cleaning and sorting possible prehistoric artifacts by material type and categories based on possible function. The two possible prehistoric material types identified included chert and charred plant remains. Chert artifacts were sorted into specific categories (debitage, tool, etc.) and described and documented (measurements and graphic depictions). Organic samples for possible radiometric carbon 14 dating were sorted out from the light and heavy fraction within controlled feature contexts at both sites: Feature 1 at the Dey Site (Sample 219612) and the sand and ash dump stratum from the Sey Site (Sample 219613). These samples were sent to Beta Analytic Inc. of Miami, Florida for processing. These samples were destroyed during the analysis. All remaining artifacts (chert only) were placed in marked polyethylene bags for permanent curation with the Town of Granby Historical Society (contact Elaine Woolridge, Granby Town Historian, 820 County Route 8, Fulton, New York). RESULTS The Phase III data recovery of the Dey and Sey Sites involving the monitored mechanical stripping of both site areas resulted in the identification of scattered prehistoric artifacts within disturbed plow-zone soils at the Dey Site and the absence of intact prehistoric cultural features below the plow-zone at both sites (Figures 3 & 8). Dey Site The data recovery of the Dey Site (A07505.000014) commenced with the relocation of positive ST locations at Grid 0/0, E0/S20, W10.5/S20, and W10.5/S23 (Figure 3). The block was marked with flags along an irregular L-shaped outline which was aligned to the cardinal directions and was at least 2.5 meters from positive ST. The block was staggered at the northeastern and southeastern corners in order to avoid damaging an existing fence with the machinery. No additional excavations were conducted on the east of south side of the fence due to the absence of any prehistoric material within any of the ST in these locations (OPRHP correspondence 6/30/06). The northern portion of the block was excavated from the southeastern corner at grid location E0/S20 toward the north to Gridline N2.5 and measured in width from 4.5 to 6 meters. The western portion of the block was excavated from the southwestern corner of the previously excavated northern portion of the block toward the southwest to gridline W15 and measured in width from 10 to 12 meters. The block exposed sterile subsoil across a 271 square meter area at a depth of 30 to 40 centimeters below the ground surface (Figure 4, Photographs 1-3). Soils from the excavations were piled to the west and north. The tailings and block were encircled with silt fencing throughout the investigations (Photograph 4). HAZEx 2
The tailings were repeatedly examined throughout the week of investigations for loose scattered prehistoric artifacts. This resulted in the collection of three pieces of chert debitage and a nearly complete projectile point/knife (pp/k), a bivalve shell, a metal spike, and a spent.22 caliber shell (Photograph 5). Though nearly a dozen soils anomalies were initially marked within the block only three features were investigated at the Dey Site. The remaining of the anomalies were identified as either the remnants of earlier Phase I and Phase II ST locations or the remains of shallow and narrow tap roots. The three features were small (maximum diameter of <1 meter) irregular shaped ash (Features 1 and 3) or stone-filled (Feature 2) deposits suggestive of prehistoric hearths. Features 1 and 3 had irregular profiles, radiating narrow passages along the sides, and were relatively shallow with maximum depths below the base of the plow-zone of <10 centimeters (Figures 5 & 7, Photographs 6 & 8). Both features contained gray and/or reddish brown loose silty soils mottled with carbonized and decaying wood. Feature 1 contained two possible chert microliths (maximum dimension of <2 millimeters) identified within the light fraction. This material probably migrated downward from the plow-zone containing recent and prehistoric deposits including both road gravels and chert tools. This hypothesis is being tested by Beta Analytic through radiometric dating of a sample (#219612) of carbon from Feature 1. Feature 3 contained no prehistoric cultural material but did contain historic coal and coal slag. Both of these features appear to be burnt root intrusions into subsoil based on their form and contents. Feature 2 was a straight sided pit excavated only in cross-section which contained a mixture of top and subsoils mixed with rock, concrete chunks, clear container glass, coal, dried paint and wire nails (Figure 6, Photograph 7). This feature is probably a disused post mold associated to the existing paddock fence located less than 2 meters to the east. Artifact analysis for the Data Recovery at the Dey Site resulted in the collection of over 3 grams of charcoal, chert shatter, a pp/k, two microliths, nails, container glass, concrete (1.3 kilograms), coal (2.5 grams), and coal slag. The pieces of debitage and microlith are composed of gray Onondaga chert and are interior or secondary stage flake fragments with maximum dimensions of <2 centimeters (<2 millimeters for the microliths). The pp/k can be described as a bifacial tool composed of gray Onondaga chert, which has a biconvex cross-section, straight to slightly excurvate blade edges, and a fragment of an ear-like protrusion along the fracture line of the missing basal portion (Photograph 5). The tool has an incomplete maximum length of 3.4 centimeters (1.34 ), a maximum width of 1.68 centimeters (0.66 ), and a maximum thickness of 0.5 centimeters (0.2 ). The length to width ratio is 2:1 but is incomplete due to the absent base. The tool depicted on Photograph 5 can generally be described as a triangular lanceolate pp/k with a possible eared base suggestive of a Brewerton Eared-Triangular as described by Ritchie (1997:18) which dates to the Late Archaic Period (6,000 to 3,000 years before the present). Sey Site The data recovery of the Sey Site (A07505.000015) commenced with the relocation of positive ST locations at Grid 0/0, E0/S8, and E0/N10 (Figure 8). The block was marked with flags along a rectangular area which was aligned to the cardinal directions and was at least 2.5 meters from any positive ST. The block was excavated from the southern edge at grid location E0/S8 toward the north to Gridline N10 for a length of 13 meters and measured 7 meters in width. The block exposed sterile subsoil across a 93 square meter area at a depth of 30 to 50 centimeters below the ground surface (Figure 9, Photograph 9 & 11). Soils from the excavations were piled to the east away from the wetland. The tailings and block were encircled with silt fencing throughout the investigations. HAZEx 3
The tailings were repeatedly examined throughout the week of investigations for loose scattered prehistoric artifacts. Only recent building debris (wire and galvanized nails, plastic, etc.) was observed (but not collected) within the tailings. Though four soils anomalies were initially marked within the block, all of these features were identified as either the remnants of earlier Phase I and Phase II ST locations or the remains of shallow and narrow tap roots. A stratum consisting of light gray sand colluvium, recent carbonized wood, recent building debris and fire-altered sand was observed within the block (Photograph 10). This stratum, investigated during Phase II testing within Test Unit A, was a 10 to 20 centimeter thick stratum that covered the southern two thirds of the block, tapering to a thin lens to the north (Photograph 11). The stratum contained recent building debris and directly overlay sterile sub soils and is associated to a recent dump site within a sand mine located 15 meters east of the site area (Hazel et al. 2006a & 2006b). Artifact analysis for the Data Recovery at the Sey Site resulted in the collection of a sherd of blue transfer-printed whiteware and over 3 grams of charcoal. All of these artifacts are either prehistoric or non-cultural (organic). The recent age of the dump stratum is being tested by Beta Analytic from a controlled sample (#219613) of the carbonized material collected from Grid E0/S5 within the block. CONCLUSION This report has presented the results of a Phase III Archaeological Data Recovery of the Dey (A07505.000014) and Sey (A07505.000015) Sites within the tract of land designated for a proposed retail center. These sites covered a 0.15-acre portion of grass-covered pasture that will be affected by the construction of this center. The data recovery was conducted for APD Engineering of Rochester, New York in anticipation of permitting for APD Project #3332-00. This archaeological data recovery excavated both sites in their entirety and was conducted in compliance with state implementation procedures and New York Archaeology Council guidelines (1994). The data recovery resulted in the documentation of the chronological association of the Dey Site (Late Archaic Period) and the vertical extent of both sites through the investigation of soils and features within both sites. The features and the soil stratum containing cultural material identified within the sites were within either recent organic root disturbances (Dey Site Features 1 & 3) or historic disturbances associated to the 20 th -Century agricultural use of the project area (Dey Site Feature 2) and the disposal of recent architectural debris by the landowner (Sey Site dump stratum). This will be confirmed by forthcoming radiometric carbon dating of samples from both sites currently underway at Beta Analytic of Miami, Florida. Beyond the recent or organic features described above no other National Register eligible intact cultural features were identified below the disturbed plow-zone within the designated areas covering Sites A07505.000014 and A07505.000015. Therefore, the proposed APE of the development of the tract encompassing the sites will not have any further impact on buried cultural resources and no further investigations are recommended. HAZEx 4

July 6 th, 2006 Proposal Mechanical Stripping and Phase III archaeological Monitoring of the Sey and Dey Sites in anticipation of the development of the Granby retail center (Project # 3332-00) within the Town of Granby, Oswego County, New York. Prepared For: APD Enginneering, PLLC 3445 Winton Place Rochester, New York 14623 This proposal for a Phase III Archaeological Site monitoring of the Sey and Dey Sites within the tract of land designated as the Granby Wal-Mart is the direct result of a request for quotation from APD (Project 3332-00). The proposed monitoring will be conducted in anticipation of possible future construction of the store and support facilities. Since these or other improvements will be state permitted, an archaeological site monitoring must be conducted at both locations in compliance with state (State Environmental Quality Review Act) implementation procedures. APD is considering contracting HAZEx of Ithaca, New York to conduct the preceding investigations. HAZEx personnel are on the New York Archaeological Council and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office lists of archaeological consultants. Examples of previous Phase III investigations conducted by HAZEX staff include the Site 40SV51 Data Recovery, Sevier County, Tennessee (2002), the Parker Cemetery in Delaware County, New York (2004), and Site 33PK210 in Pike County, Ohio (2003). Scope of Work Based on the Phase I and Phase II reports on the tract completed by HAZEx and comments from Nancy Herter, Western Unit Archaeologist for the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation these sites have been determined to be within the area of potential effect. Both the Sey and Dey Sites consist of prehistoric artifact scatters covering 50 and 265 square meters, respectively. Subsurface investigations during the 2004-2005 survey revealed possible evidence for buried features (hearth). Testing of both sites in 2006 uncovered evidence for recent disturbance across both site areas and no evidence for buried features. The OPRHP have determined that since there are sites important to the interpretation of the earliest inhabitants of North America previously documented within the vicinity of the project area the monitored mechanical excavation of the site areas is necessary. OPRHP have determined that any buried features within the sites areas, no matter how unlikely, would make the sites potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) due to their potential to contain important information about the prehistory of New York. The archaeologically monitored mechanical excavation of the sites will involve the removal of topsoils (30-50 centimeters in thickness) across the entire site areas. Possible prehistoric features such as storage or fire pits will be fully recorded within and immediately adjacent to the specific limits of the sites. These features will be completely excavated and there contents analyzed using appropriate techniques. The fieldwork will be fully documented and will include appropriate photographs and topographic maps. In addition organic samples may be taken, not to exceed four samples, from controlled feature contexts for possible radiometric carbon 14 dating.
