Ed Morin, VP New England/New York Div. AECOM Rocky Hill, CT, spoke to “The Club” about the extensive archeological work being done before construction, of any kind, involving State and/or Federal funds gets under way.
Ed has 40 years of experience in the archaeological field, a BA History, Westfield State, MA American Studies St. Louis Univ, and a MA Archaeology, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Presently Ed is working in the Philadelphia, PA area. The project is rerouting I-95 thru the city. The work involves a close association with Penn DOT.
The work has 3 phases:
1.) Phase 1-A determine what is and what is not on the site
2.) Phase 1-B test the site, review old maps and photo’s
3.) Excavate and catalog findings.
4.) The work invites public participation.
5.) The collects a trove of artifacts describing life in the early days of the work area.
Ed had a Power-Point presentation that was very detailed and informative.
There is also working being done in Harford with the relocation of I-84 and in New Lindon around the city pier.
A very interesting and informative presentation.
