The Awakening of Conrad Weiser: Radical Pietism on the Pennsylvania Frontier
Steve Feite
Conrad Weiser was described by his biographer, Paul A. W Wallace, as one of the world's great originals, a hot-headed, true-hearted, whimsical Jack-of-all-trades; a farmer and the owner of a tannery, one of the founders of Reading, Pennsylvania, a colonel on active service during the French and Indian War, the first President Judge of Berks County, a faithful husband ... a pillar of the Lutheran Church ... a hymn-writer, traveler, statesman, linguist, diplomat, and woodsmen ... everybody knew him ... he went everywhere, saw everyone, did everything. Yet through all the [varied] excitements of his public life he liked best to be at home with his Frau liebste, his Kinder and his Kieh. So why would such a distinguished gentleman with such a full, satisfying life and family leave it all behind to join a Radical Pietist community on the Pennsylvania frontier? Numerous commentators and biographers have grappled with this paradox, some considering his departure a terrible miscalculation. Some have even glossed over it as if it never happened. Clement Zwingli Weiser describes his conversion as a "religious somersault;' Arthur Graeff paints him "a perplexed Christian:' while Wallace quotes Menno Light's astonishment on seeing a headless ghost in the old Annville mill (one of Weiser's properties): Kan das sei? (Can this be?).

Phase I Archaeological Survey Report Proposed Warrior Run Elementary School, Lewis Township, Northumberland County, PA
Andrew Myers, Patricia Stahlman
MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Allegheny Archaeology Research contracted with Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc. to conduct a Phase I survey for the proposed Warrior Run elementary school facility. The desired construction site is located approximately 2.1 km (1.3 miles) northwest of the village of Turbotville in Lewis Township, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. The project area of potential effects (APE) consists of approximately 23 acres (9.31 ha) and is found on the Milton, PA USGS 7.5’ topographic quadrangle. It is situated just east of the existing Warrior Run High School facility on property owned by the school district, but currently leased for cultivation. Warrior Run, a tributary stream to the Susquehanna River, flows just east and south of the project area. The goal of the archaeological survey was to locate and record all cultural resources within the project area; evaluate identified cultural resources under National Register of Historic Places criteria; and make recommendations based on these findings. The Phase I survey involved background research and field testing. Background examination of the PASS files found in the CRGIS database indicated that there are two known sites (36NB0106 and 36NB0107) and a historic structure, the Hower-Slote house (Key No. 001032), that could potentially be affected by the proposed development. The location of 36NB0106 corresponds to the historic location of Fort Freeland where a Revolutionary War Era battle occurred resulting in the deaths of 21 individuals who were trapped at the fort. A dwelling that was subsequently constructed near where the fort once stood is the Hower-Slote house (Key No. 001032) which is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The other site, Warrior Run Quarry (36NB0107), is a small open air site centered on an erosional ditch where former Native occupants of the property apparently gathered local Helderberg chert for tool making purposes. Allegheny Archaeology Research excavated 237 shovel test probes (STPs) during the course of the survey. Another 34 were planned but not dug due to a variety of circ*mstances including the sloping nature of the terrain at some locations and areas within the APE that display extensive disturbance. Of the STPs that were excavated, 18 probes produced cultural material. One new site was discovered in the southeastern portion of the APE and 6 isolated finds were documented at various locations across the property. The newly discovered site is a stratified multi-component site that produced two bifaces during the Phase I testing including a whole point and a point base. The bifaces would appear to be possibly Middle Archaic in age, but that postulation is speculative at this time. Nine STPs excavated at the site location produced cultural material in the form of 23 lithic artifacts. The previously recorded Warrior Run Quarry site (36NB0107) was relocated during testing. Three of the overall survey’s positive STPs were ultimately found to be within the limits of this existing site. An updated site boundary was produced based on the shovel test results in and around the quarry and surface observation of items visible on the exposed ground surface. Few significant archaeological resources were recovered within the project area during this investigation. The newly discovered site found in the southeastern corner of the project APE will be avoided during facility construction activities. Site 36NB0107 was relocated and an updated boundary was given. No diagnostic artifacts were recovered at this location. The cultural material that was identified was found entirely within the Ap horizon-- no subsurface remains were recovered from intact soil levels during testing. Due to the erosional nature of the landscape, the site would appear to be “moving,” with artifacts continually being translocated southeastward along the drainage. Considering the lack of a secure context, the site does not possess integrity and is recommended as not eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Due to the depauperate nature of the findings within the project APE, no further archaeological field work is recommended.
