Geologists and historians trek muddy shores to protect Monongahela River’s cultural heritage
Joe Dunbar and Benjamin Breland, research geologists for the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, working alongside the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District, collect soil samples during an archaeologic and geomorphic shoreline survey along the Monongahela River between Elizabeth and Charleroi, Pennsylvania, Aug. 6, 2024. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District conducted a shoreline survey to protect potential cultural resources. Cultural resources can include archaeological artifacts or historical sites. Recently, the Pittsburgh District lowered the river level by approximately two feet on a portion of the Monongahela River after breaching a fixed-crest dam in Elizabeth. As part of the Lower Monongahela River Project, the removal requires the district to mitigate and avoid damage to sites with cultural value. Lowering the river exposed shorelines along approximately 18 miles of the Monongahela, rendering sites with potential cultural or historical value exposed and more vulnerable to the elements. The team surveyed soil samples and sediment layers and recorded any archaeological artifacts found along the way to designate sites of potential cultural significance.
