15.926: P23AS00120 (FY2023 american battlefield protection program - preservation planning grants): the preservation planning grants opportunity provides federal financial assistance to state, local and tribal governments, other public entities, educational institutions, and private nonprofit organizations to identify, evaluate, interpret, and protect historic battlefields and sites associated with armed conflicts on american soil through non-acquisition projects and activities. The east pikeland township project, titled continental powder works at french creek - phase II archeological survey, will research and conduct archeological field investigations on the historic arsenal at french creek, to gain a more detailed understanding of what structural elements remain from the continental powder works period of active service (january september 1777), learn about who worked and guarded the site during the american revolutionary war, and use that information to inform the future interpretation and stewardship of the site.
