Little Known Office Protects Sites on Military Base. by bat400 on Saturday, 21 July 2007
(User Info | Send a Message)
Submitted by coldrum---

The longleaf pine forests on Fort Bragg where soldiers prepare for battle conceal more than the Army's training secrets.
Pieces of North Carolina's history are hidden there, too.

Dirt piles cover chimneys that once blew smoke from Scottish settlers' homes. The bones of Civil War soldiers - Confederate and Union - lie in mass graves beneath wire grass fields. Pointed stones fashioned by Native Americans have been found from as far back as 12,000 B.C.

There are about 4,200 defined archaeological sites on Fort Bragg and 290 have been declared "worthy of more research" by a little-known office that protects and explores the sites.

For families interested in their genealogy, military history buffs or people just interested in the way this region developed, the office is a link the past.

The Fort Bragg Cultural Resources office employs six full-time archaeologists, historians and preservation specialists. They evaluate the land, examine existing buildings, collect relics and study the way people once lived.

For more on the 160,000 acre site, see the
Herald Tribune.
