Cove Beach Estates, LLC is subdividing a roughly 104-acre parcel of land located in the Village
of East Marion, Town of South old, Suffolk County, New York (Figure ], Project Area Vicinity).
This parcel, known as Cove Beach Estates, will be divided into ]2 house lots, each having an
area of between two and four acres, with a combined area of approximately 33 acres,
approximately 66 acres of open space, and a proposed new access road constituting the
remaining five acres. As part of their DEC wetlands permit application, Cove Beach Estates,
LLC was requested to determine the impact of planned development upon archaeological
resources. The New York State Historic Preservation Act of 1980 affords protection to
archaeo]ogical resources meeting the eligibility requirements for inclusion on the Nationa]
Register of Historic Places. Earth Tech, Inc. was contracted by Cove Beach Estates, LLC to
conduct the present archaeological reconnaissance survey.
1.1 Location and Description of Project Area
Cove Beach Estates is located in eastern Long Island, on the north shore of Long Island's north
fork in the Village of East Marion, Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York. The
irregularly-shaped property is bound to the south by New York State Route (SR) 25 (Main
Road), it is partially bound to the west by a road named Kayleigh's Court and undeveloped
privately owned property, to the north it is bound by Long Island Sound, and to the east by Dam
Pond and undeveloped private and town lands (Figure 1 and Photos 1 and 2). A private paved
road named Cove Beach Drive provides access to the property, and extends roughly
southeast/northwest through the property from SR 25 to a bluff overlooking Long Island Sound
(Photo 3). A second, unpaved road extends roughly to the west and east near the northern
terminus of Cove Beach Drive (Photos 1,3 and 4). There are also a number of dirt tracks, mainly
within the west of the study area.
Ground cover on the property varies from mature woodland, to heavy scrub brush with
occasional trees, to relatively clear grassland. The topography is undulating with a number of
minor rises and depressions. Steep slopes are present along the coastline, separating the beach
from the elevated bluff that extends the length of the property. The highest elevation is
encountered near the northwest corner of the parcel, with elevations dropping to the east and
south. There are presently no structures on the property except for a small wood frame summer
residence located near the northwest corner of the property, overlooking Long Island Sound.
Aside from the Sound and Dam Pond, a number of small wetlands are present both within and
adjacent to Cove Beach Estates (Figure 2, Cove Beach Estates and Photos 1 and 2).

Cove Beach Estates, Town of Southold, New York
1.2 Description of Proposed Action
As mentioned above, the 104-acre Cove Beach Estates is being subdivided for construction of 12
residences. The 12 residential lots, named Lots 1 through 12, will comprise a total area of
approximately 33 acres, with the remainder of the property being preserved as open space, with
the exception of a new access road. Lots I through 10 are located on the north side of the
property and Lots II and 12 are located on the southern side (Figure 2).
1.3 Objective and General Methodology
The primary objective of the present archaeological reconnaissance survey is to determine the
presence or absence of archaeological resources within the proposed building envelopes of Lots
1 through 12. Completion of this survey involved background research, a site walkover, the
excavation of 206 shovel test pits, and laboratory analysis of collected materials.

Paleoenvironment
The primary geomorphological process that led to the formation of Long Island was the advance
and retreat of glaciers during the Pleistocene era. Glacial advance transported rock, gravel, and
sand that were then deposited as glaciers melted and retreated. Ridges or moraines were formed
by the deposition of such material along the' maximum line of glacial advance. Meltwaters from
the glaciers also formed streams that carried material and formed outwash plains. Across parts of
Long Island glacial sediments may be hundreds of feet thick.
The second, Wisconsin stage of glacial advance formed the north fork of Long Island. It is
characterized by the Hill Harbor Moraine in the town of Southold, which consists of a ridgeline
between five and 50 ft high containing stratified sand, gravels, and boulders. A number of gaps
in the ridge line are occupied by various creeks and ponds, including Dam Pond, and were
produced when buried blocks of glacial ice melted after the main ice front retreated northward
(Figure 1)(Town of Southold 2003:Section II, A, 4-5).
At the glacial maximum the Atlantic coastal plain extended between 50 to 68 miles south of the
present shore of Long Island and sea level was over 295 ft lower than today. As global
temperatures rose, the glaciers began to melt and retreat northward, forming massive lakes and
recessional moraines. Smaller recessional moraines were deposited near Old Saybrook, Madison,
and Branford along the Connecticut shore, and by 15,000 years before present (BP) the glacier
had receded from Connecticut entirely.
By 9000 BP rising sea levels, at the rate of some 20 ft per millennium, caused massive erosion
and submergence along the Northeast coast, flooding Long Island Sound and isolating Long
Island and other offshore islands such as Martha's Vineyard from the mainland (Dunford, 1999).
These terrestrial and climatic changes were accompanied by dramatic changes in the composition
of plant and animal communities and similar variations in coastal and marine resources. By
5,000 BP the rate of sea level rise began to decrease and by 2000 BP had slowed to
approximately four inches (in) per century.
Topography
Over the thousands of years following the retreat of the glaciers, storms, waves, and near shore
currents have continuously and extensively reshaped Long Island's sedimentary deposits into a
variety of coastal environments and features. In the vicinity of Cove Beach Estates, these
features include beaches, steep bluffs, sand spits, and discontinuous chains of barrier islands.
Exposed sandy bluffs are gradually eroded; depending on near shore currents these sediments
can be redeposited linearly along projections from the shore, forming sand spits. It is likely that
this type of process led to the connection of East Marion to Orient, with Dam Pond becoming

partially landlocked between two narrow tendrils of redeposited sands. This would suggest that
at some point in the past, Long Island Sound might have flowed directly through present day
Darn Pond, into Orient Harbor, making much of Cove Beach Estates an exposed peninsula.
However, historic maps indicate that the villages of East Marion and Orient have been connected
by two narrow strips of land enclosing the tidal Darn Pond except for a small channel (Figure I)
since at least the mid 1800s.
The present topography of Cove Beach Estates is undulating with a number of minor rises and
depressions; Photo 5 depicts one such rise. Steep slopes are present along the coastline,
separating the beach from the elevated bluff that extends the length of the property. The highest
elevation, approximately 38 ft above mean sea level, is encountered near the northwest comer of
the parcel, with elevations dropping to approximately 20 ft to the south, in the vicinity of Lots 11
and 12, and as low as five ft above mean sea level east of Lots 1 through 10.
Within Lots 1-10, there are numerous shallow pits and low mounds, likely produced by a number
of means, including fallen trees, small-scale gravel mining, and in some cases dumped debris.
Area workers revealed that local residents occasionally remove small and medium sized trees
from the area, inevitably leaving behind pits (Ashlee W. Reiniger, May 28, 2003). Glacial
erratics deposited during the last glacial retreat are found throughout Lots 1-10. Further south,
the study area encompassing Lots 11 and 12 contains relatively open terrain, with both secondary
and more mature growth.
As mentioned above, storm activity, specifically hurricanes, has had a great influence on the
current topography of eastern Long Island, including Cove Beach Estates. The maximum storm
surges projected for even a low level, category 1 hurricane indicate that at least the eastern half
of the project area would be inundated, along with the communities of East Marion, Greenport
and Orient. Storm surges from a category 5 hurricane would completely inundate the entire
North Fork up to five miles east of Cove Beach Estates (Mandia, n.d.). These inundations can
result in the movement and deposition of large quantities of sand and gravel. A notable storm of
the past century is the category 4 hurricane that occurred from September 12th to the 20th, 1945
and tracked through Connecticut to the west of Long Island Sound. This storm would have
produced significant storm surges, and would have washed over and altered the shape of the
project area (Unisys Corp., 2003).
Surface Waters and Wetlands
The most significant water body in the area is Long Island Sound, which is adjacent to Cove
Beach Estates to the north. Long Island Sound is tidal and opens into the Atlantic Ocean further
to the east (Figure 1 and Photo 1). Just east of the property is the saltwater Darn Pond, a narrow-
necked inlet off Orient Harbor to the south (Figure 1 and Photo 1). In addition, a number of small
wetlands are present both within and adjacent to Cove Beach Estates (Figure 2). The most
significant of these is located immediately east of Lot 10, the eastern most lot of Lots 1 through
10 (Photo 2). This wetland is currently part of an intertidal high marsh area including mudflats

but appears from historic maps to be a result of filling activities between 1884 and 1894 (USGS,
1884 and 1894).
Soils
The primary soils in the area are the Carver-Plymouth-Riverhead Association, which consists of
sands, sandy ]oams, and loamy sands (Town of Southold 2003:Section II, A, 7-8). Within Lots l_
ID, a thin topsoil layer was typically encountered, followed by sandy loams and then several
layers of sand (Figure 2). The topsoil in the study area by Lots 11 and 12 was substantially
thicker and richer, clearly the result of past agricultural activity and plowing (Figure 2). The
specific soils encountered during subsurface testing are discussed in Subchapter 5.3,
Stratigraphy.

3.1 Prehistoric Overview
The basic cultural sequence and chronology for New York State remains that of Ritchie (1994
[originally published 1965, revised 1969, 1980]), and modified by Funk (1976), Snow (1995)
and others. It follows generally the overall sequence for eastern North America:

Paleo-Indian
The timing and route of Paleo-Indian colonization of North America and the first human
occupation of New York State remain unclear. Relatively few Paleo-Indians sites have been
excavated in New York State, and only two Paleo-Indian projectile points are known from Long
Island. The material culture of the Paleo-Indian period consists largely of projectile points, with
smaller numbers of knives, scrapers, flakes, choppers and pounding tools. These assemblages
indicate heavy dependence on hunting, probably of large game.
Archaic
During the Archaic period ca. 7,000-5,000 BC, temperatures dramatically rose, causing drying,
lowered water tables, and shrinking post-glacial lakes. Additional impacts of short-term change
and deglaciation were rising sea levels which resulted in the sea entered Long Island Sound and
separated Long Island from the Connecticut coast. The Early and Middle Archaic environment of
Coastal Long Island Sound was therefore less favorable to specialized hunting, but offered a

variety of marine resources and small game along the coast, swamps, and in mixed forests, and
especially along forest margins.
Several Late Archaic or 'Transitional' sites have been excavated along the northeast coast of
Long Island, including the Stony Brook habitation site (Ritchie, 1959). The 'Orient phase' sites
of this period are especially interesting. The Jamesport, Sugar Loaf Hill, and Orient sites
contained elaborate mortuary evidence, including ritually broken stone and pottery vessels, and
other offerings such as flint tools (Ritchie and Funk 1973; Ritchie 1994:164-178). Small quartz
projectile points and a variety of other quartz tools typify the Small Point Phase, a diagnostic site
type of this period.
Two Late Archaic sites have been found within a two-mile radius of the Cove Beach Estates, on
the Sound side of the North Fork. More information on these sites is provided in Subchapter 5.1,
Results of Background Research.
Woodland
During the Woodland period, horticulture was first developed, as well as the appearance of larger
social units, including the predecessors of historically attested tribes. In technological terms the
Early Woodland period is marked by the emergence of pottery but in most respects is similar to
the preceding Terminal Archaic.
Curiously, despite the expansion of horticulture, the emergence of large villages, and the
presence of important settlement areas on western Long Island and southern Westchester County
(Smith 1950), few Woodland sites are known on eastern Long Island.
Contact Period
Dutch maps and other historical sources note that the Mohegans, a subgroup of the Algonquins,
occupied Long Island during the Contact Period, and their numbers were quick to decline due to
intertribal warring, disease, and conflict with European settlers. The History of Suffolk County,
New York states that the Corchaug tribe owned the territory from Wading River to Oyster Ponds,
encompassing East Marion and Orient (1882). Along the shore of Peconic Bay, about six miles
west of Cove Beach Estates, a Corchaug Indian Village was excavated in the 1930s by Long
Island Archaeologist Nathaniel Booth (The Traveler, 1997). The majority of the Native
American sites found on the north fork of Long Island are known to have been on the sheltered,
bay side.

3.2 Historic Overview
Seventeenth Century
Various histories of Long Island indicate that English colonists from the New Haven Colony
settled the area of Southold in 1640. At this point in time, East Marion and Orient were known
collectively as 'Oyster Ponds,' with East Marion being referred to as the 'Upper Neck,' and
Orient as the 'Lower Neck.' These areas were partitioned among a few families into 50-acre
plots running from the bay to the "north sea" (Long Is]and Sound) (History of Suffolk County,
] 882). A brief history of the town noted that a common field was set up along the bay side, and
to the north by Long Island Sound, an area was reserved for timber for building and firewood
(Town of Southold, 1965). In 1650, there were about six families living in the area, this number
grew to 24 by the year 1700 (History of the Town of Southo]d, 1882).
The main ground transportation route at this time was the Kings Highway, now called Main
Road (SR 25). The King's Highway was laid out as early as 1661, serving to connect both sides
of the settlement across a narrow tidal inlet (Smith, 2003; Amy Philk, June 4,2003).
The lack of decent roadways leading to substantial trade markets on the western side of Long
Is]and helped shape these remote eastern settlements. The coastal communities on the North Fork
had a stronger tie to the communities across the Sound in Connecticut, as travel by water was
more efficient for business purposes. From its earliest years, the town of Southo]d actually lived
under the jurisdiction of the New Haven Colony, which merged with Connecticut in ]662. The
governor of New York soon after claimed the entirety of Long Island under his jurisdiction, but
trade and other aspects of life continued much as they had before.
Between 1649 and 1732 there were four churches organized in the Town of Southold, and every
man had to belong to one in order to hold a vote in town matters (Goodrich, 1983).
Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
During the 18th century, the villages of eastern Long Is]and became more self sufficient,
evidence by the construction of windmills in individual communities. Oyster Ponds was serviced
early on by a windmill built on the south side of Main Road (SR 25). This windmill was replaced
in the same spot two more times, in 1760 and ]810. A New York State archaeological site
inventory form has been prepared for the ruins of this windmill, known as the East Marion
Windmill (discussed further in subchapter 5.1, Results of Background Research).
As in most New England towns, the American Revolution greatly affected the area's population.
After the battle of Long Is]and many settlers left for Connecticut, feeling that Long Is]and was
too vulnerable to invasion. As the area recovered from the war, and stability increased, it began
to prosper in its marine activity. The waters surrounding the island had always been exploited for
subsistence uses, and at this time, it began to develop into an industry. In the early 19th century,

Greenport, situated on the bayside, was established as a major village, and shipbuilding, whaling,
fishing and oystering all continued to prosper around this center. By 1844 the railroad reached as
far east as Greenport, increasing the population and adding Irish and Germans to the traditional
stock of Eng]ish, Welsh and French Huguenots which already Jived in the area. Soon after many
eastern Europeans immigrated here, with the result that many Polish families still live the town
of Southo]d. Agriculture also remained a top industry, as Long Is]and has some of the best soils
in the state.
Further advancements in this rural section of eastern Long Island was publication of the Suffolk
Times, a weekly paper dedicated almost exclusive]y to news within the Town of Southold and
Shelter Is]and. This paper has served these communities continuously since 1857.
An 1873 map of East Marion depicts a number of structures along the Main Road, west of Dam
Pond inlet, on both sides of the road (Beers, 1873). Most of the structures on the road appear to
have been private dwellings, though there was also a Baptist Church, Temp]e Hall, and school. A
cemetery was located on the north side of a body of water called the East Marion Lake, behind
the church (see Figure 1),
The more industria] aspects of the village were located further south of the road, including a
number of ice houses on the south side of Lake Marion, a fish factory near Orient Harbor, the
previously mentioned East Marion wind mill, and a tidal grist mill; both mills appeared to have
been owned by H. H. Horton, The tidal mill was located at the outlet to Orient Harbor, though its
exact time of construction is unclear. The mill utilized tidal waters moving from the harbor to the
pond and back as a power source. The use of tidal power to drive the mill indicates that Dam
Pond was a contained body of water.
Cartographic evidence from this period shows no activity in the Cove Beach Estates study area,
until the 1890s. By this time, the Lower and Upper Necks of Oyster Ponds had been officially
separated into the villages of Orient, to the east of Orient Harbor, and Rocky Point, to the west
(Figure 3, Rocky Point, 1894), Around this time, the causeway carrying the Main Road
connecting the two villages was rebuilt, removing the remains of the tidal gristmill, which had
fallen out of use. Cartographic evidence from the second half of the 19th century appears to show
that the northwestern portion of Dam Pond was filled, creating the wetlands that now exist east
of Lots 1-10 (see Figure 3). The area that encompasses the eastern portion of Lots 1-10 appears
to have been plotted into agricultura] Jots, and a small bridge connected this area across the
western spur of Dam Pond to other agricultural lots north of Main Road.
Farm plots can be seen throughout most of Rocky Point, though much of the study area appears
to have been wooded (Figure 3). The farming industry had become highly specialized in the area;
staple crops included potatoes, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and peas (Bailey, 1949).
One recreational activity of the 19th century in the Town of Southold was "camp meetings"
(Corwin and Corwin, 1972). Steamboats would arrive from Connecticut, particularly from towns
along the Connecticut River, and local churches would organize tents and other provisions for

retreats in Southold, as well as other parts of Long Island. An 1896 map shows the location of a
substantial summer camp, SI. Thomas Episcopal Church Children's Home, adjacent to the study
area, to the west of Lot I (see Figure I and Figure 4, East Marion, 1896). A New York City
church ran this camp.
Twentieth Century
Cartographic evidence from the beginning of the 20'h century shows that the SI. Thomas
Episcopal Church Children's Home. a summer camp. was relocated, about 1200 ft east of its
original location adjacent to Lots 1-10, to the center of the northern portion of the Lots 1-10
study area (Figure 2, Figure 5, East Marion, 1904 and Figure 6, Portion of East Marion, 1909).
Containing 50 to 60 acres of land, the camp site included a dormitory building, washhouse,
chapel, vicarage, tennis court, baseball diamond, and crib and summer house at the beach, as
noted in a pamphlet of East Marion History post dating 1977 (Photos 6 and 7) (Wenk, n.d.).
Employees of the SI. Thomas Episcopal Church in New York City were contacted on several
occasions in an attempt to gather more information regarding the summer home, its change in
location, and any known activity in the area after it was no longer used as a campsite. One
employee who was familiar with the Church's history recalled that there had been a fire on the
property, which is when the site location was changed (Rachel Shah, June 4, 2003). More
information was not available regarding the exact dates the camp was established or
discontinued, or other activities that may have taken place there. As late as 1947, three of the
four buildings shown on previous maps (the two southern buildings and the northwestern
building) are extant; it is unknown what happened to the fourth structure (Fi~ure 7, East Marion,
1947). However, local residents recall a fire on the site during the mid-20t century; Ms. Shah
also recalled a second fire on the property, which may account for the absence of a fourth
building in 1947 (Rachel Shah, June 4,2003). By 1956 none of these structures remain (Figure
8, East Marion, 1956). The site currently retains little evidence of past activity related to the SI.
Thomas site, except for a few areas of disturbed earth and construction debris, and intense
secondary growth in the north of the Lots 1-10 study area (Figure 2).
Another early structure in the area was the Life Saving Station, roughly 3500 ft west of the Cove
Beach Estates Study Area, on the northwestern tip of the area still known as Rocky Point (see
Figures 2 and 5). During World War II, the Coast Guard manned the station, disbanding the
service in 1948. The building is extant, and was converted into a residence. The area of Rocky
Point continued to develop over the century, as summer and year round houses were constructed,
as well as a fire house (Figure 8). East this neighborhood, where the Cove Beach Estates
property is located, the area has remained relatively undeveloped, aside from the SI. Thomas site
(Figure 2 and 8) and some modem homes.
During the later half of the century. the Town of Southold began to buy open space in an effort to
preserve these features from development; east of the property the 22-acre Dam Pond Maritime
Reserve is evidence of this, as is the Cove Beach Estates property itself, which donated a large

As part of their DEC wetlands permit application, Cove Beach Estates, LLC was requested to
determine the impact of planned development upon archaeological resources. The New York
State Historic Preservation Act of ]980 affords protection to archaeological resources meeting
. the eligibility requirements for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. Per a
telephone conversation with George Hammarth of the DEC, it was agreed that Cove Beach
Estates, LLC would focus its efforts exclusively on the building envelopes of Lots 1 through 12
(Figure 9, Cove Beach Estates Study Area) (Hammarth, April 24, 2003). For Lots 1 through 10,
this building envelope is set back 100 feet (ft) from the bluff overlooking the Sound. The only
planned construction activities outside of these building envelopes are driveways that will
connect each house to the proposed new access road.
The objective of this archaeological reconnaissance survey is to provide the documentary and
physical evidence necessary to determine the potential for archaeo]ogical resources to be
impacted by construction within the building envelopes of Lots 1 through 12 (Figure 9). This
effort involved background research, a walkover survey, subsurface testing, and laboratory
analysis of the recovered artifacts. The general methods followed for each of these tasks are
provided below. This survey followed the general recommendations of the New York Office of
Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (SHPO).
4.1 Background Research
As an initial phase of research, the goal of background research is to determine the potentia] for
the presence or absence of archaeological resources and to develop appropriate contexts against
which to assess the importance of any finds. In order to develop necessary background
information on the environment, prehistory, history, and known cultural resources in the area,
research was conducted at the following repositories:
· New York SHPO, Peebles Is]and, NY;
· New York State Library, Albany, NY;
· New York State Museum, A]bany, NY;
· New York Public Library, New York, NY;
· Southold Historical Society, Southold, Long Island, NY; and
. Floyd Memorial Library, Greenport, Long Island, NY.
This effort also involved personal communications with individuals knowledgeable of past site
activities. Employees of the St. Thomas Episcopa] Church in NYC were contacted to find out
more information regarding their summer camp in East Marion (Rachel Shah, June 4, 2003).
Emp]oyees of the Peconic Land Trust, who helped clear some of the Cove Beach Estate Lots
while field work was conducted, provided valuable information and documentary evidence of
prior activity (Ashlee W. Reiniger, May 28 and June 8, 2003). Several area residents who were

walking through the Cove Beach Estates property while fieldwork was conducted also shared
infonnation regarding past activity within and around the project area; however, the names of
these people were not taken.
4.2 Field Methods
Fieldwork consisted of a walkover survey and subsurface testing, The walkover survey involved
observation and documentation (through photography, maps, and/or field sketches) of the
following:
· Location, condition, and extent of known sites in project area;
· Past and current land uses;
· Topography, vegetation, and hydrology;
· Nature and extent of historic andmodem ground disturbance; and
· Evidence of historic and/or prehistoric activity,
Subsurface "testing was conducted in order to detennine the presence or absence of
archaeological resources and gather general infonnation regarding the area's stratigraphy.
Subsurface testing consisted of the excavation of a series of IS-inch (in) diameter circular shovel
test pits, excavated in each lot's building envelope. Tests were laid out in either roughly linear
transects, small grids, or individually, depending on the following factors:
· Perceived archaeological potential;
· Uniformity or variability of the topography;
· Evidence of significant ground surface disturbance; and
· Accessibility of ground surface.
On certain occasions, portions of lots with dense ground cover and little variability in topography
were avoided when alternative areas with less ground cover were discovered. Shovel test pits
established along transects or in grids were generally spaced at an approximately 33 ft interval.
Shovel test pits were excavated by hand using shovels and trowels. All excavated soils were
screened through O,25-in hardware cloth. All recovered artifacts were placed in ziplocked plastic
bags and labeled with the test number and stratum. Each location was excavated until sterile
subsoils were encountered except on a few occasions when large buried cobbles impeded further
excavation. Pits were excavated in natural stratigraphic levels. The location and excavation
records are provided in Appendix A.
The locations of shovel test pits were marked with surveyor's pin flags during excavation. A
unique numerical name (a Test #) was assigned to each and written on the pin flag. Mapping the
location of these test pits was established by measuring off existing building envelope stakes,
surveyed in by Young & Young, Land Surveyors, with a cloth metric tape to measure distance,

and a handheld compass to calculate angles. Maps supplied by Young & Young, showing the
building envelope stakes and the paved and roads were used to mark the location of individual
pits in the field.
All field data were entered into field notebooks. Excavation information, including provenience
data, complete soil descriptions, and lists of collected artifacts, were entered into these notebooks
as work progressed.
4.3 Laboratory Analysis
At completion of fieldwork all recovered artifacts were taken to the Earth Tech archaeology
laboratory for processing. The artifacts were brushed and washed to facilitate identification,
sorted, catalogued, and computer inventoried. The complete artifact catalogue is presented in
Appendix B.
Historic/Modern Artifacts
The process of cataloguing historic artifacts involved collecting information on several attributes
for each artifact. Table 4-1 provides a list and description of these attributes. Table 4-2 provides
a breakdown of the several Functional Groups, and their respective artifact classes, by which the
assemblage was sorted. Several reference works were utilized during the artifact identification,
dating, cataloguing, and analysis stages of laboratory processing for the Cove Beach Estates
collection.
The dating of artifacts from such a highly fragmented assemblage is always problematic,
however, there are numerous reference works considered standard by most professionals in the
field of historic archaeology. The dates used for historic ceramics in this analysis were taken
primarily from Noel Hume (1976) and South (1972), with additional information regarding
diagnostic stylistic and decorative changes or refinements derived from Coysh and Henrywood
(1982). Glass references include Munsey (1970), Noel Hume (1976), and Lief (n.d.). Dates and
descriptive information for other classes of artifacts were taken from Busch (1981), Lifsey
(1973), Noel Hume (1976), Peterson (1976) and Stehling in Geismar (1996).

5.1 Results of Background Research
A site file search conducted at the New York Office of Parks, Recreation and Preservation, also
known as the NYSHPO revealed that five previously identified archaeological sites and one
National Register-listed site are located within a 1.5-mile radius of the project area (Figure 10,
Previously Identified Cultural Resources in the Project Area Vicinity). These resources are listed
in Table 5-1 below.

Of the archaeological sites, three contained prehistoric remains, one contained historic remains,
and the cultural affiliation of the fifth site was unspecified. The Orient Islates site was located in
a wooded area near Orient Harbor, and was comprised of only six isolated pieces of quartz
debitage, the remains of tool making; the archaeologists studying this site in southern East
Marion believed this to be evidence of a prehistoric site located near an adjacent tidal inlet
(Figure 10). Peconic Landing Prehistoric Sites 1 and 2, located northeast of the Town of
Greenport, and closer to Long Island Sound, were identified through a series of archaeological
surveys (Figure 10). Both sites were concluded to be part of the Late Archaic Small Stemmed
Point Tradition of northeast North America, and are likely from the same occupation. Site #1

contained approximately 760 artifacts, including quartz tools and debitage; Site #2 contained
over 160 artifacts.
The East Marion Windmill was a wind-powered gristmill built in 1810, on the site of a previous
windmill (built in 1760), and was one of the few remaining mills still operating in the beginning
of the 20th century (Figure 10). The building no longer stands, but was important in the
development of windmill technology and as a part of the industrial and agricultural history of the
Town of Southold.
An archaeological site inventory form was submitted to the NYSHPO identifying the
approximate area of the Dam Pond site, noting it's general location on the west side of Dam
Pond (Figure 10). A call was made to Mike Schifferly at the NYSHPO, who reported that they
have no further information for the Dam Pond site, though he believes the form was probably
filled out in the 1970s when the Suffolk County Archaeological Association (SCAA) (Schifferly,
June 4, 2003) conducted a comprehensive cultural resource study. Dr. Gaynell Stone from the
SCAA was contacted, and she noted that the Dam Pond site was listed in their files for the
village of East Marion under site #735, but no further information was located at their repository
regarding the nature of the site (Personal communication, June 19, 2003). Evidence recovered at
the Floyd Memorial Library in Greenport provides a clue to the identify the Dam Pond site; a
map produced by the Town of Southold in 1965 for their 325th anniversary indicates two "Indian
villages" on the west side of Dam Pond, on the north side of its spur, southeast of Cove Beach
Estates. No further information regarding these Indian villages is mentioned in the
accompanying town history, and it is only their locations that suggest they are related to the Dam
Pond Site.
The National Register-listed Orient Historic District encompasses over one hundred dwellings
and public buildings from the late 18th to early 19th centuries, located on 60 acres of land in
Orient, Long Island, stretching from Truman's Beach to Orient Point (Smith, 1976). The hamlet
of Orient still retains its traditional atmosphere as a 19th century seafaring and agricultural
district.
5.2 Cartographic Analysis
A series of historic maps were reviewed to identify changes in land use at Cove Beach Estates
and the immediate vicinity.
An 1873 map of East Marion (Beers, 1873) depicts the shoreline of Orient Harbor. Dam Pond is
shown connecting to Orient Harbor via a channel, with road segments of Main Road (later Route
25) to the east and west. The H. H. Horton Grist Mill was located on the western spur and
utilized tidal waters moving from the harbor to the pond and back as a power source.
Documentary information suggests that at this time, residents could travel from East Marion to
Orient via a road running northward along the western edge of Dam Pond, and then along

Truman Beach and into Orient. However, no cartographic evidence was discovered to support
this scenario, and Truman Beach's sandy and gravel composition would have made travel
difficult.
The 1894 USGS map (Figure 3) shows Main Road as extending, unbroken from Rocky Point to
Orient, suggesting that a causeway had been constructed over the channel between Dam Pond
and Orient Harbor (Town of Southold 2003:Section II, 10). This map also indicates two areas of
swamp or wetland to the west of Dam Pond, one immediately along the shore and the other
further inland, closer to Lot 10 (Figure 3). The eastern and northern portions of Cove Beach
Estates appear partially cleared and parceled on this map; the western portion appears forested.
No structures are shown.
Offshore measurements from the 1894 map show a uniform depth of seven ft along the centra]
area of Truman Beach, corresponding to the eastern shore of the project area and the area to the
immediate north of Dam Pond (Figure 3). The offshore depth along the entirety of Truman
Beach then grade upward to an unusually uniform depth of 3.5 ft. Depths are more varied further
to the north and east around Orient Shoal. These measurements are suggestive of efforts to
reinforce Truman Beach with offshore dredging and piling debris along the shoreline. Coupled
with the possible earlier presence of a roadway, these data suggest Truman Beach had been
significantly modified earlier in the 19th century.
The 1896 Hyde map (Figure 4) indicates a large structure northwest of Lots 1 through 10 (Figure
9). This structure is labeled "Chi]drens Home/St Thomas Epis. Church NY." The ruins of a
wood-railed staircase leading from the bluff top to the beach in this area may have once been
associated with this structure. According to sources at St. Thomas Church in NYC, this building
was a summer camp that, due to a fire, was later relocated to the east.
.
-
The new location of the St. Thomas summer camp is depicted on a 1904 USGS map (Figure 5)
as within the eastern half of the Lot 1 through 10 area of Cove Beach Estates. This ]904 map
shows four structures, two larger ones, located close to the Sound, and two smaller ones, located
immediately behind the first two, further from the Sound. Photos 6 and 7 depict some of these
structures. The original structure indicated on the 1896 map (Figure 4) is no longer present on
this map. Access to these structures from Main Road appears to be by an unimproved road
(indicated with a double dashed line on Figure 5). This map also indicates a small wetland to the
east of Lots 1 through 10.
A Hyde map from 1909 (Figure 6), which was traced from an original map for inclusion in this
report, indicates a similar configuration and location for these four structures. On this map the
structures are labeled "St. Thomas Childrens Home." Although the access road depicted on the
1904 map is still present on this one, a new access road to the east of the first is also depicted.
This new road extends northward from Main Road, across an inlet of Dam Pond, a projecting
finger of land, labe]ed Addisons Point, and the property of Herbert Schellinger. It then curves to
the east, possibly avoiding the wetlands pond east of the study area (Photo 2), and then to the

northwest, along Truman's Beach to the St. Thomas site. However, evidence of this road was not
noticed in the field, and it is unclear whether it ran east or west of the wetlands.
A 1947 USGS map shows only three of the four structures associated with the St. Thomas site
(Figure 7). Documentary and photographic evidence suggests that it is the parish house that is no
longer present, previously located in the northeast quadrant of this site (Photos 6 and 7).
Employees of the St. Thomas Church in NYC as well as East Marion residents, remember
another fire occurring at the summer camp during the mid 20th century, which could explain the
missing structure. The access road also appears to have been changed as compared to earlier
maps. On this map, the western access road appears to no longer fork at its northern terminus,
and the eastern road no longer appears to extend all the way to the beach. Instead, this eastern
roadway only extends roughly 700 ft north of SR 25, to two new structures, and is not shown
crossing the western spur of Dam Pond.
The 1956 USGS map (Figure 8) was executed from photograrnmetric information and field
checked. This topographic map was rechecked in 1976 and no significant cultural or drainage
changes were noted (NYSGIS, 1956 and 1976). None of the structures once associated with the
St. Thomas Summer Home, or any new ones are present in Cove Beach Estates. The access road
is still depicted, although with a slightly different configuration. This map (Figure 8) also
indicates a small but very straight channel extending west from the northwest comer of Darn
Pond. A previous landowner indicated that during the Great New England Hurricane of 1938
Long Island Sound had broken through Truman Beach and connected with Darn Pond (Mandia,
n.d.). In the aftermath the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had constructed the channel between
Damp Pond and the wetland, apparently as a flood control measure. This information suggests
the reconstruction of Truman Beach as a heavily modified structure in an area prone to heavy
flooding.
Another local informant recalled that during World War II the areas of Lots 11 and 12 were
plowed and planted with vegetables, possibly cauliflower. This may account for the level
topography and deep rich topsoil in this area.
Topographic information on the 1956/1976 map is problematic. The finger previously labeled
Addisons Point is indicated by a dotted contour that does not connect with other contours. Still
more interesting, however, is the fact that the elevated portion of Truman Beach is indicated by a
single oblong contour that does not join with the landmasses to either the west or east. The
elevation of this contour is unclear, but these data have been abstracted in the current New York
State Department of Transportation Raster Quadrangle (NAD 83 datum) (NYSGIS, 1956 and
1976) and in effect depicts Truman Beach as an island.
Also noted on the 1956/1976 map are areas of gravel mining. Landscapers in the area noted that
sand mining had been conducted over the past 50 years in the area around Cove Beach Estates;
the map suggests that mining was particularly intensive along the mid western portion of Cove
Beach Estates (Figure 2 and 8).

5.3 Results of Reconnaissance Walkover
Prior to initiating subsurface testing, a reconnaissance walkover was conducted in Lots 1 through
12. During this walkover, the field team identified the following evidence of past ground surface
disturbances:
· A varied patchwork of ground cover, with some areas being forested, some very
heavily vegetated with scrub brush and only occasional mature trees, and some
areas that have been cleared (photo 8);
· Specific areas where the prevailing vegetation are indicators of past ground
disturbance (such as wild grape vine);
· Numerous shallow pits, low mounds, and piles of gravel; and
· Locations where modem dumping has occurred.
Limited evidence of historic activity was also observed. This evidence consisted of a possible
foundation pit and occasional building debris (Photos 9 and 10). The possible foundation pit was
observed along the western edge of Lot 5's building envelope (Figure 9). This area was highly
overgrown with shrub brush and wild grape vines. The pit was irregular in shape and contained
no evidence of building material, suggesting that it in fact was probably not a former foundation
but instead an unknown disturbance. Shovel test pits excavated in this area did not encounter any
cultural material. Small amounts of building debris were observed in severa] locations and
consisted of brick wall fragments, individual bricks, and concrete fragments. These remains were
observed in the southern portions of Lots 5 and 6.
5.4 Results of Subsurface Testing
Based on the presence of previously identified prehistoric and historic sites in the general
vicinity of Cove Beach Estates (Section 5.1), the results of cartographic analysis (Section 5.2),
and the walkover (Section 5.3), it was assumed that Lots 1 through 12 have a moderate potential
for archaeological resources to be present. In order to evaluate this conclusion, a subsurface
testing program involving the excavation of shovel test pits was carried out.
Between May 13th and 30th, 2003, a total of 206 shove] test pits were excavated at the Cove
Beach Estates property. As discussed in the field methods section, these test pits were either
located within or, in a few locations, immediately adjacent to the building envelopes of Lots 1-12
(Figure 11, Results of Testing - Lots 1 to 10 and Figure 12, Results of Testing - Lots 11 and 12).
An average of about 17 shovel test pits were excavated within each building envelope,
depending on its size, along either linear transects, small grids, or as isolated, judgmental pits.
The most pits were excavated in the Lot 1 building envelope (Photo 8), 26, as it was the largest
of all of the lots. The results of subsurface testing are summarized in Table 5-2.

Artifacts were recovered in only 25 (12 percent) of the excavated pits, with the remaining 181
being sterile. A total of 249 artifacts were recovered from these 25 pits. The entire artifact
assemblage consisted of assorted historic and modem refuse, although the majority of these finds
(76 percent) were either coal refuse or fragments of a tin can encountered in test pit # 4.2.3
(Figure 11). No prehistoric artifacts or features were encountered in any of the test locations.
Subsurface testing revealed a low concentration of scattered historic and modem debris. Based
on the following observations, it appears that Lots 4, 5, 6, and 7 were the location of historic
activity, likely associated with the St. Thomas site indicated on historic maps dating to as early
as 1904, discussed earlier in S~ction 5.2:
· Approximately 97 percent of the artifact assemblage was recovered from Lots 4,
5,6, and 7;
· The only excavated architectural remains (six artifacts) were recovered from Lots
5 and 6;
· The majority of the architectural debris observed during the walkover was
encountered in Lots 5 and 6; and
· Almost half of all shovel tests containing historic artifacts were located in the
southern portion of Lots 5, 6, and 7.
Aside from a small number of isolated artifacts, cultural material was absent from the remaining
eight lots (1 through 3 and 8 through 12). Section 5.4 provides a more detajJed discussion of the
recovered artifacts.
The stratigraphy encountered during subsurface testing is comprised of three basic stratum, an
organic topsoil horizon (AO), a leached horizon (AI), and an accumulation horizon (Bl)
(Appendix A provides the excavation record). These stratigraphic layers were present throughout
the site, though subtle variations in these layers were detected across the site suggesting that the
eastern half of the site had at one time been a beach. The topsoil across the site is loamy sand,
and ranges from a maximum depth of approximately four in to being locally absent. In the
easternmost units, especially Lot 10, the topsoil was essentially comprised of a dense root mat
with some accumulation of organic material and sand (Photo 11). The depth of the topsoil in the
east was often difficult to determine due to the thick roots and accumulations of organic
materials, but often was as little as two in. In contrast, the southwestern most units in Lot 1 were
characterized by well-developed sandy loam, ranging up to eight or four in in depth. Topsoil was
absent, however, at higher elevations along the bluff line in the northwest, probably due to
modem disturbances and aeolian processes. The presence of well developed topsoil at higher
elevations (except the bluff) and poorly developed topsoil at lower elevations is indicative of
higher groundwater and runoff in the easternmost units, in proximity to Dam Pond and
associated wetlands. It also indicates that soil formation in the east is more recent than in the
west.

The leached horizon (AI) throughout the site is characterized by sandy loams. Once again,
however, the soils in the west were better developed, moist, and often compact. To the south, in
the area of Lots 11 and 12, they were more uniform and compact, characteristics of agricultural
soils (Photos 12 and 13). Considerable variability was also noted in the thickness and
composition of the Al horizon, suggesting these soils formed across complex topography. In
specific terms, it was difficult to detemtine in some cases whether the soils should be
characterized as sandy loam or loamy sand, as grain size and angularity varied. It is suggested
that these soils formed across a topographically complex beach surface, which as noted above,
rose to the south and west, but which also undulated. The numerous depressions that would be
found on such a surface provided an environment for additional sorting of sands, cobbles,
pebbles and gravels. The presence of heavy fractions such as sands, pebbles and gravel, and even
cobbles in some units, while absent in adjacent units, is another indication that wave transport
and sorting of sediments took place on a topographically complex surface.
The accumulation horizon (BI) found in the area was comprised of sand, which in some units
was described as loamy or even silty sand. The sand horizon was found across the entire site, and
closer to the beach overlaid another lighter colored sand horizon at a depth of more than 20 in.
The presence of cobbles, pebbles, and gravels again indicates sorting of material. The presence
of such variation even in Lots 11 and 12 shows that the beach stretched a considerable distance
to the south toward East Marion.
During subsurface testing, artifacts were recovered from both the topsoil horizon (AO, AI, and
A2) and the subsoil (B 1 and B2). However, the cultural material recovered from the subsoil is
more a reflection of soil disturbance than depth of deposition. Table 5-3 provides the vertical
distribution of artifacts at Cove Beach Estates.
5.5 Results of Laboratory Analysis
A total of 249 artifacts were recovered from the Cove Beach Estates test excavations. The
artifact assemblage consists of scattered historic and modem debris, and the artifacts are in a
highly fragmented condition. The highly fragmented condition of most of the historic materials
recovered made dating difficult, and, in most cases, precise dating impossible.
The 249 identified historic artifacts recovered from the Cove Beach Estates shovel test pits were
identified to eight Functiona] Groups within the overall artifact taxonomic classification system
used during cataloguing and analysis. These broad functional groups were: Food
Service/Preparation/Storage (26 artifacts, 10.4 percent of the total artifact assemblage;
Architectural Materials (6 artifacts, 2.0 percent); Furnishings (1 artifact, 0.4 percent); Clothing
Related 1 artifact, 0.4 percent); Smoking Pipes (1 artifact, 0.4 percent); Faunal Remains (5
artifacts, 2.0 percent); Activities (121 artifacts, or 48.6 percent); and Not Assigned (89 artifacts,
35.8 percent). The complete artifact inventory appears as Appendix B.

.. Four of the artifacts from this category were located in a buried A layer.
Within the broad functional groups, the artifacts have been further assigned to eleven Artifact
Classes. The breakdown of artifact class by lot appears as Table 5-4.
The seven Historic Ceramic sherds identified in the assemblage have initial dates of manufacture
in the mid-19lh century. However, the date ranges of production for the ceramic ware types
continue throughout the latter half of the 19lh century, and continue well into the 20lh century.
The presence of sherds or whole vessels with identifiable maker's marks usually enables more
precise dating of ceramic artifacts. The identification of certain vessel forms, sometimes together
with particular decorative motifs, can also help to more narrowly date ceramic artifacts.

The historic ceramic sherds identified from the Cove Beach assemblage displayed partial
maker's marks. The first, an undecorated ironstone basesherd, was recovered from test number
9.2.3, Stratum AI. The partial mark consists of .....P. CO. over ...in U.S.A." printed in
underglaze green. This mark is too incomplete to identify. Based on the specific ceramic ware
type and the green printing, this sherd has been dated post-1850. The second marked ceramic
sherd was recovered from STP 5.2.7, Stratum BI. This partial mark, on an undecorated ironstone
basesherd, consists of "Rf!..." in underglaze green within a box. This mark represents a partial
British Registry Mark. Following the passage of the Copyright Act of 1842, it was possible for
designs or shapes to be registered at the London Patent Office. The registry mark gave protection
from copying or piracy for a three-year period, after which the protection could be continued for
an additional period by re-registration. From 1843 to 1883, the registry marks were diamond-
shaped, either impressed or printed on the base of the vessel. Beginning in 1884, these diamond-
shaped marks were replaced by the letters "Rd No." with the following numbers indicating the
year the design was registered. It should be noted that the date recorded the time of the

introduction of a design, and was not necessarily the date the vessel was potted. Such marks were
often used for many years, often far beyond the time protection was provided for by the
Copyright Act (Wetherbee 1980; Coysh & Henrywood 1982; Kovel & Kovel 1986). The
ironstone basesherd identified in STP 5.2.7 has been dated post-1884, based on the style of the
registry mark.
Seventeen sherds of Bottle/Container Glass were recovered from the STPs. Ten diagnostic
sherds from a Mason-type bail seal jar lid, dated post-1875, were recovered from STP 6.2.8,
Stratum AO.The remaining bottle/container glass sherds were too small to date.
Two sherds of Tableware Glass were identified from test number 4.2.2, 2W, Stratum AI. These
sherds likely represent a drinking glass, or tumbler, and remain undated.
Few Construction Materials were recovered including two small fragments of red brick and one
of concrete. For the most part, these artifacts are not temporally diagnostic. Two iron wire Nails
were identified in the assemblage. These have been assigned the general date of 20th century.
One Decorative Furnishing related artifact was identified from STP 5.1.8, Stratum AO. This
artifact, a sherd of iridescent Carnival type glass has been dated post-1905.
One clothing related Fastener was recovered from STP 4.2.4, Stratum AI. This artifact, a copper
alloy grommet, measuring 3/8 in in diameter, remains undated.
One ball clay smoking pipe Pipestem was identified in STP 5.2.7, Stratum B1. The bore diameter
measured 4/64th inch. The pipestem is undecorated and unmarked, and remains undated.
Five artifacts representing faunal remains have been identified, all of which were shell. Most of
this shell represent hard shell clam fragments, the rest were too weathered and abraded to
identify to species. These artifacts are not temporally diagnostic.
Miscellaneous Artifacts such as coal and charcoal have been identified across the STPs. The nine
coal fragments likely represent furnace related waste; the 98 charcoal fragments may be the
result of either man-made or natural fire activity. Eighty of the pieces of charcoal, recovered
from STP6** were from a single object***??? These artifacts are not dateable.
20'h Century Debris was recovered from STP 4.2.4, Stratum Al and from STP 6.1.7, Stratum AO
and AI. Identified artifacts include automobile window safety glass, opaque white plastic
fragments, a white metal foil, possible wine bottle closure, and an iron key with rolled metal
from a coffee or food can.
Unspecified artifacts are those that have not been assigned to a specific functional group. Of the
89 unspecified artifacts from the Cove Beach assemblage, 82 of them represent iron can
fragments, likely a single can, of unknown function, recovered from STP 4.2.3, Stratum B 1.

Cove Beach Estates is located in East Marion, NY. This 104-acre property is being subdivided
for construction of 12 residences. The 12 residential lots will comprise a total area of
approximately 33 acres, with the remainder of the property being preserved as open space, with
the exception of a new access road. All planned construction within each lot, will be constrained
within a building envelope. The combined area of these building envelopes is approximately 11
acres. The primary objective of the present archaeological reconnaissance survey is to determine
the presence or absence of archaeological resources within these building envelopes. Completion
of this survey involved background research, a site walkover, the excavation of 206 shovel test
pits, and laboratory analysis of collected materials.
Based .on the presence of previously identified prehistoric and historic sites in the general
vicinity of Cove Beach Estates (Section 5.1), the results of cartographic analysis (Section 5.2),
and walkover reconnaissance (Section 5.3), it was assumed that Lots 1 through 12 have a
moderate potential for archaeological resources to be present. However, subsurface testing
revealed only a low concentration of highly fragmented historic and modern debris, very little of
which was diagnostic, and the absence of any prehistoric remains. Only 249 artifacts were
recovered, the majority of which were coal refuse and highly fragmented pieces of tin. The few
diagnostic artifacts all dated to either the mid to late 19th or 20th centuries.
Both the absence of any prehistoric remains and the very low concentration of historic remains
were unexpected. The absence of prehistoric remains is likely a reflection of both poor site
preservation and a less attractive environment for occupation during prehistory. Site preservation
is likely poor due to the repeated erosion and redeposition of sediments across much of the site
due to both storm events and smaller-scale processes. The site may have been less attractive for
prehistoric settlement before the creation of Dam Pond, when much of Cove Beach Estates was
likely a peninsula exposed to Long Island Sound (Section 2). The majority of previously
identified prehistoric sites on eastern Long Island are located near sources of fresh water such as
kettle hole ponds. Fresh water sources on Cove Beach Estates are very limited.
Of greater surprise was the absence of concentrations of historic domestic refuse, food remains,
and building material associated with the 20th century St. Thomas Episcopal Church summer
camp (referred to on multiple historic maps as "Childrens Home"). The St. Thomas Episcopal
Church, which is located in New York City, was contacted numerous times as part of this
archaeological survey in an effort to gather information regarding their former site. Rachel Shah,
a long time employee of the church, recalled that there had been multiple fires at the site of the
summer camp, the first of which led to its relocation from west of Lot 1 to roughly within Lots 4,
5,6 and 7 by the early 20th century.
Fieldwork indicated that Lots 4, 5, 6, and 7, and particularly the southern portion of Lots 5, 6,
and 7 were the location of limited historic activity, likely associated with the St. Thomas site.
The majority of the recovered artifacts came from these lots. The absence of greater artifact

concentrations could be the result of a thorough site clean up after the aforementioned fires and
the closing of the camp during the 1950s. Additionally, it is likely that during the camp's
operation, trash would have been regularly collected and deposited off site or elsewhere on the
property, further away from the living and activity areas. In any case, it is unlikely that structural
remains of the former camp buildings would be considered archaeologically significant given
their recent age and the availability of non-archaeological sources of information on this
property.
Aside from a small number of isolated artifacts, cultural material was absent from the remaining
eight lots (1 through 3 and 8 through 12).
Further investigation of the Cove Beach Estates deposits would likely result in the collection of
redundant data of little archaeological value. Given the absence of significant deposits, it is
concluded that proposed construction in the building envelopes of Lots 1 through 12 would have
no effect upon archaeological resources meeting the eligibility criteria of the National Register.
