We have made updates to our website. Staff biographies have been updated and two new project pages have been added which highlight our work at pre-contact quarry sites in Pennsylvania (Marshalls Creek) and landscape reconstruction in Manhattan (2nd Avenue). In the past year GRA conducted field investigations in New York, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, and has staff working in St. Louis, Missouri. GRA staff will present the results of investigations associated with the Millennium Pipeline Project at a symposium at this year's Society of American Archaeology Meeting in St. Louis, Missouri on April 18, 2010.
