The Strong House property is a long-occupied and heavily utilized site that has a high potential for containing archaeological evidence about the history of the house. The lot is at the center of the remains of a much larger farm and almost certainly contains archaeological evidence for a wide range of agricultural and domestic work activities, structures and artifacts. Any new activities on the property that might significantly disturb the ground (utility work, new construction, new walkways, tree removal, new planting beds and so forth) should take into consideration the potential for disturbing or destroying archaeological remains from the historic use of the property. Archaeology should be employed, as necessary, in a planned and systematic way to protect and document evidence for the history of the site that lies buried beneath its current ground surface. The Strong House Archaeological Study will provide an opportunity for students to work along with the professionals on this project.
