Interesting new business, like the weather prediction one in Wolfeboro, NH. I was working at the West Point Foundry Cove on the Marathon Battery remediation study when the "cold fusion" experiments were supposedly verified in Great Britain. Interestingly, we found out that a Canadian firm was making heavy water once on the site! There was also a large chlorine fire for 24 hours that took 300 fire-fighters to contain, a pool supply firm, perhaps why all the bricks fell down into a "sea of bricks" the heat may have created a physico-chemical separation, compounded from sheets of water. Boy was I steamed! I had come into the project after other employees left because they were not being told the whole story they said, and lo and behold it was true! I insist that "title-search" like efforts be made on properties so that one has an idea (and perhaps fore-warned of contamination) of a property's history. Ideally, the archaeologists on a project should have a good idea of everything before they go digging. A large study had been done of the history of the foundry, but not its 20th century uses, other than the engineers who wrote the "health and safety plan" based on known contaminates to be removed, an "umbrella" of safety posited for everything else. (Yeah right, but they made 1 million artillery shells here and 30,000 gun carriages, you think we should worry? Source: The American Heritage "Picture History of the Civil War. The Epic Struggle of the Blue and the Gray by the Pulitzer Prize-Winning Historian" Bruce Catton c) 1960, 1982 edition. The proton magnetometer surveys isolated magnetic anomalies, (first survey, two instruments, one to monitor the Sun) no "piles of shells" were found in the survey (something I also "later" found out about, not from the start) and only two serendipitous found artillery shells required EOD inspection from the U.S. Army, and they turned up empty, but shut the site down until cleared by them.
