Historic Fitchburg Furnace documentation/stabilization

This proposal has been prepared in response to a request from staff of the College of Design, Center for Historic Architecture and Preservation, for a Phase I Archaeological Survey proposal for work at the Fitchburg Furnace, in Estill County, Kentucky. This investigation is intended to provide specific information concerning the nature and distribution of potential archaeological deposits associated with the furnace. The work that is proposed will include a review of the existing archaeological sites and an evaluation of previous archaeological investigations at blast furnaces. This information will serve as the basis for the design and completion of a Phase I archaeological survey.
