Artifacts that are collected during survey are returned to CDC’s laboratory for inspection. Those artifacts that are collected from an archaeological site are cleaned, cataloged, and analyzed. The information collected from these artifacts is then used to formulate or support CDC’s project recommendation. If the artifacts are not part of an archaeological site, they are either discarded or returned to the landowner (as requested). If the artifacts are part of an archaeological site, they may be prepared for curation with either a museum, a local historical society, or another long-term curation facility.

Hello! My name is Hailey Murray and I am an intern here at CDC. I have been working to create a brief history of Fort Gaddis in Uniontown, Fayette County. I made this short video that discusses what I found about the Fort and I would appreciate it if you gave it a watch. The video includes the history of the Fort as well as the people who owned it. It also discusses an archeological dig as well as attempts to memorialize the site. Fort Gaddis is represented by a log cabin that was built in the late 1700s when Pennsylvania was still a frontier. The log cabin is considered to be the oldest building in Fayette County and the second oldest in Western Pennsylvania. While the log cabin remains standing, it is in need of major repairs. ![]()

In 2023, Washington County Cultural Trust (WCCT) contracted CDC to complete a Historic Structures Report to assist in their rehabilitation of the historic John Roberts House located in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. The stone portions of the house were built in 1808 and the brick portion was added in ca. 1840. WCCT purchased the property in 2010 after it had fallen into a state of disrepair. After several years of successful fundraising efforts, rehabilitation work has begun in earnest! We are happy to have been a part of supporting the WCCT in their rehabilitation and looking forward to seeing what comes in the future.
