An inventory and assessment of prehistoric archaeological resources in the New Jersey Pinelands: Phase one of a regional predictive survey

This report presents the preliminary findings of an archaeological survey of prehistoric aboriqinal sites in the New Jersey Pinelands. This study is an outgrowth of earlier research which set about to examine the relationships between site occurrence and environmental factors in an effort to identify any repetitive and predictabvle associations between the two (Cavallo 197e). Althouqh this work was originally designed as a piece of academic research in a portion of New Jersey which is virtually unknown archaeologically, it was recognized that the study would also hold promise for establishing procedures and policies for managing cultural resources in a region where these resources have come under stress from a wide range of development pressures. In the interest of promoting both theoretically relevant research and responsible cultural resource management, this study was jointly funded by a matching-grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (Office of Historic Preservation) and matching funds from Monmouth College and the New Jersey Pinelands Commission.This report is undated.
