CRMarchaeology-NY : Message: Re: "if only I had a degree..."

Re: "if only I had a degree..." I heard that the State of New York is going to require testing at all slopes to develop a model that reflects actual data rather than "thought about" evidence which tends to reinforce what has already been found or not found. There's an interesting GIS going on at the State Historic Site of Olana (Arabic for "place on high") that Frederic Church built, a founder of the Hudson River School of painting, which is some of the first artwork the U.S. Congress bought for itself, his "Niagara" I seem to remember back there when the State first opened it I think, back in 1978. There is a GIS using a visual inventory of anything within four (4) miles of the vista from Olana for possible impacts on the site. Interesting copy of Darwin's "Origin of the Species" there. New regs. maybe 4 miles? Maybe you saw Bernadette Castro, the appointed head of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, who once ran for the US Senate against Senator Patrick Moynihan, and Bob Vela in an episode of "This Old House" at Olana?
