Stadt Huys Site
The Stadt Huys (an old Dutch spelling, meaning city hall) was the very first city hall in New York City built in the 17th-century during Dutch settlement (New Amsterdam). It stopped function in 1679 due to safety. It is located at what later became known as 71 Pearl Street (now demolished) in the modern-day Financial District of Lower Manhattan. The Stadt Huys block archaeology project was the first large scale archaeological excavation in New York City in 1979-1980. At the time it was excavated, it was one of the most expensive and most productive projects of urban archeology undertaken in an American city. A lot of logistical procedures for urban archaeology had to be developed as the project evolved. Most of these procedures have become a model for performing large-scale excavations in the city.
