Historic and Prehistoric Archaeological Survey of the S-Curve Alignment, Metrorail E Route, Prince Georges County, Maryland

摘要

Prehistoric archaeological and historic archaeological and documentary investigations in the West Hyattsville area, Prince Georges County, Maryland, were undertaken. The purpose of the project was to determine whether significant prehistoric or historic archaeological resources existed within the right-of-way of the Metrorail E Route. Historic documentary research demonstrated that the S-Curve area remained rural and was unusually lightly settled until the 1940's. It was determined that structures shown on historic maps of the area do not lie closer than an eighth of a mile to the impact area.
