tobacco was stored until ready for market . It was thus prevented from getting too brittle (Mary Jane Lockhart Gosling , personal communication 1999) . Further to the east along the same farm road is another log building that was once part of the farm. This was a large tobacco curing barn. This hand- hewn log barn is found on the south side of the farm road. It measures about 17 . 1 ft north/south and 17 . 6 ft east/west . The barn has a dirt floor . It was once whitewashed . A sandy chinking is still visible between most of the logs . St. Mary 's Site 23 (31 Or503 * *) This is another cabin site discovered while walking Mary Jane Lockhart Gosling ' s property. This cabin site is situated on a steep knoll overlooking an unnamed branch. The site is heavily wooded, but one can hear cars from Pleasant Green Road close by . The site is located on Lockhill Farm, back in the southern quadrant of the property. The main house site is just south of an eroded roadbed or driveway that leads northwards across the branch to Lockhill Farm ' s south pasture . Based on the location of a structure on the 1918 soil map it appears that this site was a farmstead reached by way of Pleasant Green Road to the southwest . The site is in good condition, although whiteware, 1 milkglass, and clear glass artifacts were observed along the eroded drive . This scatter extended from the knoll almost to the creek bed . The site consists of two large piles of fieldstone and brick rubble , one on either side of the drive . The one on the south and west appears to be the main home site as it has two large yard trees defining the top of the knoll. Summary of Results and Recommendations for Future Research Integration of Results of Architectural and Archaeological Surveys Henry writes that "Between 1959 and 1989 the percentage of land in farms [ in Orange County] declined from 70 percent to 48 percent. Although agriculture remains important economically as well as culturally, many farms are unoccupied and deteriorating . . . The St . Mary' s Road area, with its mix of nineteenth and early4wentieth century farmsteads , forested hills , and lush horse farms , continues to be a picturesque landscape, but it is a landscape increasingly threatened" ( 1999021 ) . Preservation and management of this historic landscape must begin with recording its existing structures, objects, districts, landscape features, and archaeological sites ; thus forming the foundation for the St . Marys Corridor preservation plan (Orange County Environment and Resource Conservation Department 1999) . The archaeological part of the St . Mary ' s Road Corridor study has begun with the present project . The results of historical and map research, site file investigations, informant interviews , and the archaeological reconnaissance of St . Mary ' s Road have proven fruitful. At the beginning of the project only one archaeological site was known near the area, a small lithic scatter located south of the Eno River (Figure 1 ) . The present project has resulted in recording 23 additional archaeological sites, and has highlighted over 30 additional potential site locations (besides architectural survey sites) . After analyzing data from historic maps , soils maps, aerial photographs, interviews with locals , and from deed and other historical research areas of high archaeological site potential have been identified in the project area. In some cases these 40
