Panamerican Consultants, Inc., under contract to Northern Ecological Associates, Inc., Portland, Maine, conducted a Phase IA documentary study of two islands in Jamaica Bay (Elders Point and Yellow Bar) and portions of Floyd Bennett Field for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District (USACE). The USACE is undertaking a proposed ecosystem restoration project that comprises Elders Point Island and Yellow Bar Island (also known as Yellow Bar Hassock) in the bay. The islands are within the boundaries of Kings County (Borough of Brooklyn), New York. This Phase IA documentary study was undertaken to assist USACE in meeting its cultural resources management responsibilities. The overall objectives of this documentary study are to describe the prehistoric and historic occupation, use and development of the areas to be affected by the proposed project, to identify possibly significant cultural resources, and to evaluate the potential impact of the proposed ecosystem restoration project on any such resources.
