FINAL Phase IB Underwater Archaeological Resources Report for Onondaga Lake Superfund Site Significance Evaluation National Register Evaluation Integrity of: Location A20 remains at its original location, thus LCMM recommends it retains integrity of location. Design A20 retains design elements such as spatial organization, technology and materials that are reflective of the boatbuilders’ original shipbuilding activities. LCMM recommends A20 retains integrity of design. Setting The area of lake in proximity to A20 retains a similar character to that when the vessel was lost some 60 to 80 years ago. LCMM recommends A20 retains integrity of setting. Materials Approximately 90% of the fabric of the site remains either intact or adjacent to the scow. The hull construction can reveal the boatbuilders’ construction preferences and (potentially) regional boatbuilding traditions. LCMM recommends A20 retains integrity of materials. Workmanship A20 has significant potential to yield information about the boatbuilders’ skill and techniques, thus LCMM recommends it retains integrity of workmanship. Feeling The historic character of A20 in its largely intact as its exposed condition evidences. LCMM recommends A20 retains integrity of feeling. Association A20 is sufficiently intact to convey to an observer its nature as a rock scow. From an information potential perspective, integrity of association is measured in terms of the strength of the relationship between the site’s data and important research questions. The archaeological data gathered from A20 indicates the site has the potential to answer questions about the engineering considerations for building this specific vessel type and vessels designed to carry large deck loads. LCMM recommends A20 retains integrity of association. Criterion: A: Event The circumstances of A20’s loss and its association with the New York State Canal system are unclear, thus LCMM recommends A20 is ineligible under Criterion A. B: Person No known individually significant persons are associated A20. LCMM C: Design/ Construction D: Information Potential recommends A20 is ineligible under Criterion B. A20 embodies the distinctive characteristics of rock scows, and can be considered representative of the type. LCMM recommends A20 is eligible under Criterion C. A20 is likely to yield information about early twentieth century boatbuilding techniques, their operational history and the specific construction characteristics of rock scows. LCMM recommends A20 is eligible under Criterion D. 165
FINAL Phase IB Underwater Archaeological Resources Report for Onondaga Lake Superfund Site Recommendations LCMM’s analysis suggests that A20 retains integrity and is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria C and D. The remedial design for the area calls for capping. As per the Section 106 process, LCMM has recommended avoiding adverse impacts to A20. In response, the remedial design has been altered to avoid depositing cap materials on the site. A20 should be marked during remedial activities to ensure that no adverse impacts occur via the inadvertent anchoring of work vessels. 166
