Our Experience
NORTH CAROLINA
Within the past two years, JRIA has successfully completed several cultural resource management projects in eastern North Carolina, including Phase I reconnaissance surveys and more intensive Phase II archaeological investigations. As a result, we have developed a solid working relationship with the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology; we are familiar with the wide variety of archaeological resources that are characteristic of this region, including sites associated with prehistoric Native American, colonial, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century occupations; and we have considerable experience using available archival resources to prepare detailed prehistoric and historic contexts and summaries of previous archaeological research.
Harvey Point Defense Training Activity, Perquimans County, 2005-2006
JRIA conducted a Phase I cultural resources survey of approximately 114 acres at Harvey Point Defense Training Activity in 2005 on behalf of Michael Baker Jr., Inc. and the federal facility. This survey resulted in the identification of 18 archaeological sites. JRIA subsequently conducted a Phase II archaeological evaluation of Site 44PQ0137, a late nineteenth-/early twentieth-century domestic site in 2006.
Eaton's Ferry Tract, Warren County, 2007
JRIA conducted a Phase I cultural resources survey of approximately 86 acres near Eaton's Ferry in 2007 on behalf of Kerr Environmental Services Corporation. The survey resulted in the identification of 19 sites. JRIA then conducted Phase II boundary determinations for two of the sites, 44WR0214 and 44WR0216 so that they could be avoided by development.
Williams Tract, Warren County, 2007
JRIA conducted a Phase I cultural resources survey of approximately 108 acres and an entrance road corridor in 2007 on the behalf of Kerr Environmental Services Corporation. No significant archaeological sites were encountered during the investigation.

JRIA is currently conducting archaeological investigations at the Bal-Gra property in Bertie County.
