:~- -� ---- % I <br />x _ <br />V <br />PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS <br />VALLEY FORGE NATIONAL <br />HISTORIC PARK <br />INVESTIGATIONS <br />National Park Service, Pennsylvania <br />Among the most hallowed locations in American history is Valley <br />Forge, where George Washington's Continental Army spent the <br />winter of 1777-78 during the American Revolutionary War. With <br />archaeological excavations necessary as part of a long-term <br />remedial action underthe Comprehensive Environmental Response, <br />Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) to address contaminated <br />soils within a large area of the Valley Forge National Historical Park, <br />the National Park Service (NPS) called on PaleoWest expertise in <br />both historical archaeology and HAZMAT compliance to carry <br />out the work. The extensive archaeological testing project also <br />included state-of-the-art architectural documentation for 19th <br />century masonry ruins. The NPS was very pleased with PaleoWesfs <br />timeliness, professionalism, and responsiveness. This project <br />was highly successful as PaleoWest supported Park environmental <br />remediation responsibilities while documenting the important <br />archaeological resources and shedding light on the Continental <br />Army's daily life and hardships at the encampment. <br />www.PaleoWest.com <br />
