At this time of year, Quaker Bridge is one of my favorite places. Ticks aren't very romantic though, I guess. :)

Sorry for another off-topic post, but the announcement for the CNEHA annual meeting is out now and I thought some members may be interested. The Council for Northeast Historical Archaeology is holding its annual meeting in Trenton, NJ this year, and the topics of discussion include local Rev...

Hi Joe! How strange! I don't actually work for the park service directly, but rather for a CRM firm contracted by the NPS. I will definitely stop by some day and say hello. I wonder if you'll be able to spot the piney before I introduce myself?? --Ariadne

In a somewhat off-topic piece of news, October is Pennsylvania Archaeology Month. For history lovers, there may be things of interest even though its not Jersey or pinebarrens related material. During the whole month, the archaeology laboratory at the old visitor's center in Philadelphia (at...

I'd be in for a picnic, as well as my fiance.

Please contact Ariadne at ariadne.moore@gmail.com for the reasons for this change of posting. Someone made a posting in my name, in the honest belief of being helpful, but is not entirely correctly informed on the situation.

Bob, Have you tried the archives at the Hagley museum and Monmouth County? Try these links to see if this is the type of thing you're looking for: http://www.monmouth.com/~mcha3/coll8.html...

These are from research files I've accumulated here at work in association with a different paper mill site, but the origin is the archives at the HSP (Historic Society of Pennsylvania). You can view a lot of their publically accessible catalog at http://www.hsp.org There are several...

I just posted some historic photographs/maps from my archives at http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/gallery/index.php?cat=10322 if anyone is interested. Sorry if you've already seen these! --Ariadne

I've posted some historic photos and maps of Harrisville paper mill at http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/gallery/index.php?cat=10322 if anyone is interested. You may have already seen these, but I didn't find them in other galleries so I figured I'd post them. -- Ariadne

I'd love to come along if that's okay. I can bring what information I have as well, if you'd like.

Thanks to everyone for coming out! It was nice to meet everyone, and to realize that there are other people in the world that care about the historic places of the pines. I was left with a really good feeling, so again, thank you all! --Ariadne

I'll see you all there! Keep your fingers crossed for good weather! Cheers, Ariadne

I am painfully unaware of message board etiquette; sorry for any confusion. :)

I'm sorry for not getting back to all of you sooner; this week has been full of conferences for me, so I've not been spending much time online. As for the most recent round of questions regarding Saturday's Hanover Furnace visit, all of the following apply: Anyone who wants to come can...

I'm sorry for any cross-posting, but I wanted to let anyone who is interested know that I will be giving an on-site tour of the recent archaeological monitoring work done at Fort Dix-Hanover Dam, the area in which the now lost Hanover Furnace sat. I will bring along a sample of artifacts...

I am not a gentleman, but a lady :) Yes, there certainly is a plan and no damage has been done. One person with concerns about brick to the south side of the dam should rest easy -- they were 20th century brick dumped by the army. I am a well-respected, professional archaeologist and have...

For those that have been concerned, I have a PhD in historical archaeology and have worked as a professional archaeologist for nearly a decade, and was contracted to monitor the work being done at Hanover Furnace during the dam construction and lead remediation project. No damage has been done...

Jersey Devil, not real. Bog Monkey, very, very real.

As promised to some, here are a few of the photos from the Hanover Furnace archaeological project that I'm working on at the moment. --Ariadne
