FINAL Phase IB Underwater Archaeological Resources Report for Onondaga Lake Superfund Site A55 The site located during AK’s dive is designated A55. This is almost certainly an almost completely buried, edge fastened barge. The nature of the curved strapping is completely unknown at this point 199
FINAL Phase IB Underwater Archaeological Resources Report for Onondaga Lake Superfund Site A38 A4 A55 1320 AK out of the water 1600 PAL into the water. Decided that the best strategy was to have PAL visually survey a larger area to make sure nothing was missed between A55 and the original site found at A38 (during ROV survey) which could be seen from the dive boat now that the waves had settled out. PAL looked at A38, believes it is part of a barge, but identification is unclear due to box features which can’t be explained yet. PAL then did a shoreline survey starting +/- 100’ from the barges at A4 +/- 100’ from the shoreline and parallel to shoreline. 1 st pass was from +/- 100’ A4 running about 400’. Sweep was then stepped 50’ out and survey back toward A4. PAL then came back to the boat, got the camera and filmed A38 and A55. 1700 PAL out of the water. Done diving for today. Heavy rain. 1730 Back at the Marina. Break down gear. 1800 Depart Marina for the day. October 26, 2010 0715 Depart hotel. Get lunch. 0730 Arrive at Marina. LCMM crew: AK, ST, AC & PAL. Safety briefing with KM, PP, & Drew Falder, Shipherd Densmore & Ken Thomson. Gear up for dive operations. Dive plan is to finish documentation of A38 & A55 then move onto A 33 or A35 depending on conditions, Weather is clear. 65F, light winds out of the south. 0845 Depart Marina for A38/A55. A38 A55 0920 AK into the water at A55. A55 (barge) documentation of completed. No significant new observations. Barge is almost completely buried. Both ends are exposed. The shoreward side has some remnants exposed above the bottom in the form of edge fasteners and angle iron. The side away from the shore has much less exposed. One piece of angle iron was observed with a tire around it. A38 (original site) was looked at after the barge. A38 was documented. The site appears to be a dock or some part of marine infrastructure. The side is not a barge based upon lack of appropriate fastenings at corners and presence of framing on both sides of planks. Most likely a bulkhead dock/pier. The site has two 2’ x 2’ rectangular wooden boxes constructed of vertical planks. The use of the features is unclear, but likely critical to the identification of the site. At one end of the feature, there is also a mortise. The mortise suggests that the exposed timbers are at the top of the original structure. A turnbuckle was noted near one of the box features. 200
